I can't see deleted files in the recycle bin. It looks empty but the desktop icon is 'full'. If I have the recycle bin open when deleting a file I can see it appearing in the bin for two seconds, but after that the file disappears. Are they any solutions to fix it? Thanks!
I already scanned the computer. No viruses ... everything is OK.
Found this site http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/recycle-bin-missing-deleted-files-t381932.html - third post down written by Kelly:
Files not being listed in the Recycle Bin seem to be related to a corrupt info2 file. To correct the issue (Fat32):
Go to Start/Run and type in CMD:
Type CD \RECYCLED, and then press ENTER. Type ATTRIB -r -s -h info2, and then press ENTER. Type DEL INFO2, and then press ENTER.
NOTE: This deletes the damaged INFO2 file. Windows will recreate this file as needed, automatically.
This may or may not be relevant to your case as she mention FAT32 as partitioning system.
EDIT: she also mentions her own site: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rb with more troubleshooting tips for this problem.
