RECYCLE BIN

[Guest]

When I delete something it bypasses the recycle bin and I lose it forever.
Why does it not go to recycle bin?

Aaron, check at Kelly's. Select R and scroll to Recycle Bin

Look at your Recycle Bin settings.

Right click Recycle Bin | Properties | Global tab |
Uncheck: Do not move files to the Recycle Bin |
Check: Display delete confirmation dialog
Click Apply | Click OK

Do not move files to the Recycle Bin
[[Specifies whether the items you delete are immediately removed from your
hard disk or the items you delete are moved to the Recycle Bin. Items moved
to the Recycle Bin are not removed from your hard disk until you empty the
Recycle Bin. ]]

Display delete confirmation dialog
[[Specifies whether a confirmation message is displayed when you delete
files to prevent you from deleting files in error. If the Do not move files
to the Recycle Bin check box is selected, you cannot change this setting. ]]

Also, if you use Shift + Delete the deleted item(s) bypass the Recycle Bin.
