How to stop copied files from being automatically trashed

Question

so this has only been happening recently, in the last 2-3 weeks.
if i choose a file, say "example.txt" and duplicate it, adding "example copy.txt" to the desktop, within a couple seconds, it gets automatically placed in the trash.
if i rename the copy to "example.2.txt" and move it back to the desktop, it'll stay. so it's not an issue of identical files being trashed. if i take it and name it back to "example copy.txt" it gets placed in the trash again automatically.
how do i stop this? it's driving me mental because i have to go retrieve everything i copy from the trash bin. i'm sure i haven't downloaded any automators or anything, so any kind of input would be beneficial.
thanks!

Answer 1

whats the type n contents of this files.it is text only pipe seperated.
have u specified the bad or log file path while creating the external file.no I do not. I use simple UTL_FILE for writing to these files but it does generate .log all the time and sometimes .bad whenever there is some problem.
the sample script used for create external table is mentioned below.
CREATE TABLE "XX"."E_ERROR_LOG"
(     "SERVER_ID" VARCHAR2(24),
     "MONITOR_ID" VARCHAR2(24),
     "XXX_ID" VARCHAR2(8),
     "XXX_SUBTYPE_ID" VARCHAR2(8),
     "ERROR_CODE" VARCHAR2(6),
     "LOG_TIMESTAMP" VARCHAR2(19),
     "ERROR_MESSAGE_BODY" VARCHAR2(1024),
     "XXXX_MESSAGE" NVARCHAR2(1024)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY "XXXX"
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( records delimited by newline
     fields terminated by '|'
     missing field VALUES are NULL
LOCATION
( 'DF_XXXX_ERRORLOG_DATA01.dbf'
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
