    Unwanted Recycle Bin Files Restoring to my Desktop


    When adding a new file or shortcut to my Desktop the content of my Recycle Bin empties onto my Desktop. It does not happen every time, but at least 50% of the time. When this happens I am not interacting with the Recycle Bin at all. Storage Sense is set to run every day and Downloads/Recycle Bin are set to delete every 30 days. This is set by my employer so I am unable to change these settings. I keep my Desktop very organized so this is becoming a painful process to repeatedly remove files. There was a similar question posted here in 2021 but it was not helpful for my situation.

    :)
