Guest Charles Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I have found that if I have files on my Desktop and drag them to the Recycle Bin, they are not stored in the Recycle Bin. I have checked that the "Do not move files..." box in unchecked in the Recycle Bin properties, and the size is large enough. Thanks for any help

Guest Alan Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Re: Deleting files in Explorer Twayne, The OP is asking why the files that are moved to the Recycle Bin are NOT showing there. Your response is telling him/her how to delete files that are NOT there.

Guest Kelly Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Re: Deleting files in Explorer Hmm, see if resetting the bin helps: Files Do Not Show Up in Recycle Bin When Deleted http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;168570 This seems to work for many: Make sure that something is in the Recycle Bin (delete any file). With the Recycle Bin closed, right click and choose: Empty Recycle Bin. When the confirm box appears, click ok. Reboot. Now the Recycle Bin should work correctly. If the above didn't help: Files not being listed in the Recycle Bin seem to be related to a corrupt info2 file. To correct the issue (Fat32): Go to Start/Run and type in CMD: Type CD \RECYCLED, and then press ENTER. Type ATTRIB -r -s -h info2, and then press ENTER. Type DEL INFO2, and then press ENTER. NOTE: This deletes the damaged INFO2 file. Windows will recreate this file as needed, automatically. You can often restore files even if it is not being listed in the Recycle Bin by searching (Start/Search) for the files by name, once found rename them. If the files still cannot be recovered, follow the steps above, then reboot. They should now be listed.
