Recycle bin recycles files, even when set to not do so

[Guest Zootal]

I have my recycle bin set to "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove

files immediately when deleted" on every drive. However, I noticed that each

drive has a recycled (fat32) or recycler (ntfs) directory, and each of them

has several GB of files in them. If I open the recycle bin, it is empty.

What are these recycled and recycler directories, and what is the several GB

of files in them?

 

I can confirm that if I delete a 2MB file, the size of the recycler

directory increases by 2MB. So, instead of asking if XP64 ignores recycle

bin settings, instead I'm going to ask how do I get it to not recycle files,

and instead delete them like I have it set?

Zootal,

These two articles might shed some light.

They didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, and they don't tell me

why Windows recycles stuff when I have it set to not do so.
