Note: Files that were previously deleted will be permanently erased from the
Recycle Bin.
Create a notepad document and save it (any name will do).
Now delete the file so that it goes to the recycle bin.
Empty the recycle-bin.
To test, create another file and then delete it – does it now show up in the
recycle bin?
If not, then continue on to the following site for more information.

When I delete an item it does not show up in recycle bin. If I click "empty
bin" it asks me if I want to delete x number of items, but none are there. I
tested and sent, for example, 3 items. None were diplayed. But when I clicked
"empty bin", it asked was I sure I wanted to permanently delete these 3
items.....but the bin was empty. The items seem to go to the bin, but do not
show up in the window. Any ideas?
