Windows 10: Items deleted from specific SharePoint folder in my PC's recycle bin

Hello,


The files from a specific SharePoint library that get deleted have been going to the recycle bin on my PC... but no other libraries have this result. Other people are deleting the files, sure, that's fine, but why do they go to the recycle bin on my PC?

Windows recycle bin contains files from other Sharepoint user

Hi Daniella!

Welcome to our community.

This is Leocadia, independent community expert, and I am glad to assist you today.

The SharePoint Recycle Bin is different from the Recycle Bin in Windows. If you delete files or folders that you're syncing, you can restore them from the Windows Recycle Bin on your PC

You can configure a SharePoint site's recycle bin to control the amount of time a user can restore deleted content before it's removed forever and the amount of storage space the recycle bin consumes. The SharePoint Application Management settings page lets
you turn the site recycle bin on or off, set the number of days that deleted items are retained in the recycle bin, and set how much storage space the second stage (site collection) recycle bin uses.

You only need to follow the steps below:

Recycle Bin - Deleting an item returning 'Folder Access Denied'

Hi,

I am trying to delete a file from one of my user's PC's and I keep getting the below message returned:





I have referenced this thread already -> Recycle Bin Corrupted - Cannot Delete File or Folder

Method 1 returns no results - when I actually navigate to c:\$recycle.bin it shows as empty, and there are no other drives I cannot locate the file in (show hidden files is selected)
Method 2 - I cannot see the hidden $recycle.bin folder in the C drive with hidden files ticked on.

What I have tried:
- I have tried running the recycle bin as an administrator
- Tried running cmd as admin to clear the recycle bin
- Tried running CCleaner to clear the recycle bin
- Tried restoring the file in question (won't restore)

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thankyou!
