Deleting Shared Folders

G

Guest

Hi all,
I am working on a shared folder on a win Xp network.

Now, I know that if I delete a shared folder file from a remote PC it won't
go in any recycle bin, not the remote Pc's nor in the server's and this is ok.

But why, when working on the server itself ,the deleted file (always from
the shared folder) will NOT go in the recylce bin of the server? After all in
this case I am working on a local file, not a remote one.
Anybody can help?
Ciao Sylvia

Sylvia,

perhaps this is because you accessed and deleted the folder
through the network stack?

Try to navigate, in Windows Explorer, directly to the hard disk,
then to the folder, instead of finding it in the network places.
