I am running WPM10 on XP Pro. I have all latest patches installed, no
viruses present & my machine is running just fine. Having said that;

While cleaning up my WPM10 library, I found entries pointing to a
"C:/RECYCLER" directory. The directory seems to be a "system" directory & is
not of my explicit creation.


Any ideas as what or where this "C:/RECYCLER" directory came from? Can I
just delete it?

Thanks, Steve
 
Ha! OK Larry & thanks for the swift response. I guess it seems pretty
obvious once you know!

As Larry says. Just keep emptying it when you use Disk CleanUp to remove
Temporary Internet Files etc.

Hope this helps.

Click to expand...

It's the Recycle Bin, so you can't delete it.

(You could right-click on the actual Recycle Bin icon, click
"Properties", then "Do not use Recycle Bin" -- but then you would no
longer be able to recover files you had deleted.)
