You probably have your system set to show hidden files and folders.

I deliberately have hidden files and folders and systems files set to show.

I still would like my question answered.

 

I other words I do not want my USB drive to use a restore or a recycle

folder

Go to the REstore screen. There you'll find a button called Advanced or

something similar where you can tell it which drives to monitor. It

only needs to monitor your boot drive so it's only wasting space on the

other drives; remove them from the list. Restore is ONLY for system

files fo any drive without system files does not need to be monitored.

But windows defaults to monitoring them all for some reason.

 

Recycle Bin; Not sure, but I think that's nothing but a shortcut.

Sorry; can't help with that one.

You can't prevent the creation of either. Once a volume is mounted

the system creates a System Volume Information folder and the

current user's SID creates a unique Bin.

Right click the Recycle Bin Icon & go to Properties.

Tick the "Configure drives independently".

Click on the tab for that particular drive & tick the box "Do not move files to the

recycle bin".

 

You can now delete the Recycler folder on that drive.

 

*Go to System Restore & click on "System Restore Settings"

Highlight the drive that you want to exclude & click on the "Settings" & tick the box

to "Turn off system restore on this drive"

 

*You may have to repeat this procedure each session if it's a removable drive & I

haven't been able to remove this folder,even though it's disabled for that drive.

A format may remove that folder but it may return-even though the drive isn't being

monitored.

I tried removing it with "Unlocker" & it produced errors (Event Viewer) & removed all

my monitored drive restore points.

I just learned to live with it after so many failed attempts.

YMMV
