Hello everyone,

I have a windows 2000 server that is acting as a file server. It has two
volumes C: (system volume) and E: (data volume). Both the C and the E volume
have the normal "recycler" system folder. On the E volume, however, in my
home directory, there is a file called $Recycle.bin. What is this file doing,
and why is it located here? Does anyone know?

The bigger question is this, is it safe to delete this file? It is 9.6 GB,
which would be nice to have available for other system activities....

Any info will be appreciated.
