Magical trash return
I religiously empty my Trash folder. At least with "Secure Empty Trash", or even with "Permanent Eraser". And when I do, the Trash indeed gets emptied, as you would expect, and indeed stays empty... for a little while. Because, since a month or 2 there are a few items – sofar one empty folder, and one jpg – that re-appear on the desktop a little while after I had emptied them from the Trash. Sometimes within 5 minutes of emptying the Trash, sometimes a few days and intermittent re-starts later.
Changing permissions on those files and then trashing them didn't make a difference. They still come back. Restarting after emptying the Trash doesn't make a difference either: they still come back a little while later.
Anybody have any suggestions how I finally could really get rid of those files?

EDIT: Jpeg back on your desktop? Now that is weird. Search Apple support for it.
I know it's annoying. Recovered files? Don't let it worry you it happens all the time. As far as I know those files aren't readable.

That jpg on the desktop is certainly readable when it has 'risen from the grave', 35 times overwriting!, that I thought I had buried it in...
Apple support? What URL should I look for?
