WordPress generates pages dynamically, so the only reasons why you would still see old files are –
1. You didn’t save changes.

3. You’re browsing through a proxy and the proxy is caching the old page.
4. You are running a cache plugin.

To be honest I have had nothing but problems with WordPress, despite the (usually) nice interface there is a lack of contextual explanations as if it is assumed you know about it all already. The number of questions being posted on these forums would perhaps lessen if things were explained better, but then anyone who has ever read a computer manual will know that techies are not the best at that sort of thing 😉

Resolved – the web site AND preview screen do seem to show the cached content. It can be switched off by going into Options | wp-cache and deleting cached files.
Thx all for your help.
Ahh. That means it was
