Re: Recycle Bin Issue

You and I are different. I think carefully before I delete and more
often than not use Shift + Delete.

Think; If you always take positive action to empty the recycle bin
you see what's in it before you empty it. You can selectively delete
items as opposed to a complete emptying as with disc clean. You
maintain control and avoid deleting something in error.

Very simply, if you handle the recycle bin MANUALLY and not let any
program do the cleaning you have much better control.

When I delete something, it is moved to the recycle bin, but

Any suggestions as to why this is happening? It didn't use
to do this.

Hi,

Are you running any kind of "cleaner" at startup, e.g.
ccleaner? Check your startup list in Start => Run and type in
"msconfig" {without the quotes}

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see anything like that in
my start list,
though are a lot of things there that are mysteries to me.
Don't know what they do! If I did have a cleaner, would it
clean anything else I could look for?

Hello Bob,

You would have to have installed it. What it cleaned would
depend on how it was set up in the program's options. For
example, it may be set to clean up your internet cache, empty
the C:\TEMP folder or the C: \Windows\TEMP folder. The program
would also have to be set to run the selected cleanup options
on startup. It was just a thought, as I know some cleanup
programs can be
set to empty the Recycle Bin at startup.
One way to check might be to delete some files to the Recycle
Bin and then start the computer in Safe Mode (F8 after the
manufacturer's splash screen. Hopefully the program won't
initiate in Safe Mode. If the Recycle Bin doesn't empty it's a
pretty good guess that it's something that's been installed.
There are programs that will empty a Recycle Bin on shutdown,
but not very common.


That was a good suggestion. I put some things in the Recycle Bin
and then restarted in Safe Mode. They were still there. Then I
started again in regular mode and opened the Recycle Bin as soon
as I could. I actually watched the items disappear. So, it
must be something in the Startup program, though there is
nothing obvious (to me) with the name clean in it (Windows Temp
folder is not emptied, by the way). I guess I'll just have to
start eliminating things in the start up program until I figure
out what is causing it. I assume programs in start up are
loaded in the order listed. The items disappeared before my
browser loaded (I have it set to load automatically at start
up), so that should help me. Thanks for the suggestion. Bob
