Recycled bin - not showing deleted files in xp

bloodline76 · 7 Feb 2008 at 18:07

My colleague has deleted some files into his recycled bin but they are not showing in there, I havent been able to take a look yet.

I know that there is a function on there to delete the files permently without there showing but if it is corrupted in some way, what would I need to do?

I am not even sure I know where the recycled bin is within the system.

Thanks

I didnt have chance to try and clear as you said but I created a new profile and this still happens the same as before. When I connect as admin this lets me view the trash ok.

Where would I setup the configuration for this? All the properties are fine.

Anyone?

Tried doing

rd /s c:\recycler

But this did not work

Anyone know much about where this is located in registry?

I had this in Vista a while back so it probably works in XP. I changed my theme to classic and back to what I had before and the recycle bin worked again. Try it.

Did it say "do you want to delete" or did it say "do you want to sent to recycled bin?"

This says straight to delete.
