    Sleep mode and Recycle bin issue


    When ever my PC wakes from sleep or is restarted or shut down and powered back up my $Recycle.bin folder shows no files and says it is empty. If I create a couple of files and then delete them the $Recycle.bin still appears empty but if I then click on Empty Recycle Bin It will say do you want to completely delete these files. But it still does not show them. So even thought it says there are some files there I can't see what they are. If I reset the Recycle bin it will then work correctly until another wake up, restart or shut down. Apparently the restart or wake up is causing the Recycle bin to become corrupt. I am hopping someone has some ideas about what is causing this. I just recently updated to Windows 10 v2004.

    :)

    Hi George,

    To prevent your files from being deleted from the Recycle Bin, we suggest increasing the maximum file size your Recycle Bin can keep by following the steps below:

    • Right click on the Recycle Bin icon.
    • Under the Settings for selected location, select Custom size.
    • Fill up the box for your allotted maximum file size for your Recycle Bin.
    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Recycle Bin

    Hi, Scout-86.

    Bare with me. I'm only a student in Information Technology. I believe the recycle bin might be corrupted, causing it to vanish from the desktop completely.

    Try one of these two fixes and see if helps.

    Solution 1:

    • Step 1: Select Start -> Settings -> Personalization -> Themes -> Desktop icon settings.
    • Step 2: Make sure the checkbox for Recycle Bin is checked, then select OK. You should see the icon displayed on your desktop.

    Solution 2:

    • Step 1 Run Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Step 2 Type the command rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin and press enter.
    • Step 3 Type exit to close the Command Prompt window

    I hope this helps!
