Click Start, Run and enter %systemdrive%\Recycler. Under this folder you'll see sub folders with names like:
S-1-5-21-1085031214-854245398-1060284298-1003
===================
And low and behold PRESTO, I found MY dir to be:
S-1-5-21-790525478-1767777339-682003330-1004
close enough.
and YUP, there are my files. YAY!!
BUT!
I have had this problem on this machine ever since I have had the machine, more than 2 years. Sometimes I CAN see what is in the recycle bin & sometimes I cannot. Mostly, I cannot. I read the site stating: "Files not being listed in the Recycle Bin seem to be related to a corrupt info2 file." However, I cannot FIND my INFO2 file.
Now, every file & dir I delete, IS visible in the recycle bin.
1-Also, why is this an intermittent problem?
2-And how do I prevent this from happening again?
Thank you for your assistance.
