What are recycler and recycled folders and how to see them?

Hi,

Those folders are supposed to be there. They 'are' your recycle bin.
Manage that from your desktop.

HTH,

They are the actual folders "behind" the desktop's Recycle Bin.

If the partition is FAT or FAT32, there will be a Recycled folder; if it is NTFS,
there will be a Recycler folder.

If you have both, the partition was most likely originally FAT32 and was converted
to NTFS, either during an upgrade from Win9x, or just from converting to NTFS after
the partition was originally created.

If the partition is NTFS, you can delete the Recycled folder on that partition only.

If they are full of files, right-click the Recycle Bin on the desktop and click
Empty on the menu that appears.
