    Explorer Issues re: Content Counts & Recycle Bin


    Greetings,

    I've noticed two somethings in Windows 10 for ages. I'm wondering if it's normal and the way things are. I'm using the latest of everything but no betas.

    FOLDER CONTENTS COUNT WRONG

    Suppose I want to know how many items are in the Documents folder. Or how much space it eats on my hard drive. If the Docs folder has folders within it, and those have folders and items within it, the system... urm... gets lazy after a certain point and doesn't offer a complete read.

    My wife had a folder within the Documents folder that's 15GBs of info. If you asked Explorer how big the Docs folder is you get 1.75 GBs. Not even close.

    EMPTYING RECYCLE BIN

    Suppose you have 40 items in the bin. When I click the 'Empty' button quite often it only removes so many and then, again, gets lazy and doesn't finish. If I re-open that same folder it's then clear.

    Is this normal Window behavior? Does your system do this?

    :)

    Recycle Bin

    Open File Explorer

    In the Path bar at the top of the folder list to the right of the small icon the is an Arrow head pointing right. Click on it and it points down with a folder list including the Recycle bin.
