Recycle Bin Will Not Show Until Reboot (swap)
Jan 29, 2010
I have a nit problem that has followed me from XP and maybe earlier. When I install an OS, I normally have the swap on a drive other than the OS. This seems to confuse the recycle bin in that if I delete something, it will not show until I reboot. When it then shows full, and I empty the bin, it still shows full. I deleted the cache (came back exact same size) and deleted the bins on the 2 raid sets and the sata drive. They reappeared but the desktop bin has the same behavior. More a pita than a major issue. BTW, 20GB memory, so deleted the swap, Ideas?

When I delete an email it does not show up in my deleted items folder. It just disappears. I deleted an email accidentally and now I cannot find it because none of my deleted emails are in the folder. Where are they going?

I have just bought a new pc with Vista Home Premium x64. Problem is that the recycle bin won't show deleted items. The bin just looks empty. If I click on empty recycle bin it prompts me if I want to delete these 16 (or whatever number) items, so they must be there but will not display. I have tried displaying hidden files and checked in recycle bin properties that files are not deleted rather than placed in the bin to no avail. If I click restore items nothing happens.

I've just bought a 4GB flash drive to use as a ReadyBoost drive. However, it
occurred to me that putting the swap file on might be a better idea. It's
going to be mounted inside the case of the PC, so not easily removable.

today I ordered a ZT Affinity Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz 1GB Radeon 5450 Blu-Ray ROM Desktop w/ Windows Professional 64bit. This will be my first Win7 PC. What should I do before using the PC everyday?
I'm thinking drop the DVDBlu Ray player to a very low drive letter, setup a permanent swap file. and I'd like to partition the 2TB HDD. Do I need third party software to partition a Win7 HDD? What else would you do to set up this PC?

Excessive memory and cpu use when loading ‘heavy’ internetsites like runescape, stardoll, etc (my children are experiencing most of the problem…). Event viewer indicates ‘excessive page swapping’ and I tried to extend the swap memory size manually, this did not help either. It does not matter which browser is in use (tries IEXPL en FIREFOX). JAVA runs with the latest edition. No memory problems found with memory scan...,System is defragmented on a regular base,No malware found,Tried to start up without virusscan (sophos),Problem started a couple of weeks ago, system run normal before Memory use running heavy java appr 200MB ,Memory use homepage only 2 MB,PC performance index 3. MSINFO.exeinfo: 1G installed; 767 total phys mem; 116 available I wonder why there is only 116 MB physical memory available What causes the degradation: 1GB -> installed memory to 767MB total physical memory -> 116MB available memory? (and this is just after start up, no browsre loaded) Number and 'weight' and weight of boot programs is very low.

I have the following issue and hope that somebody can give me a hint about what might be going on! My system has two raid 1 arrays - one is running on XP Professional SP3 the other one is running on Vista x64 Ultimate SP1. When I start my virtual machines (either from the Virtual PC console or when double-clicking the *.vmc files) than everything is working fine on XP and the virtual machines are booting and running as expected. However, on Vista the following is happening (and I hope somebody has an idea):
1. Starting the Virtual machines from the console leads to an immediate reboot of my host machine (I can't even see any boot screen of the virtual machine - it is like clicking start in the VPC console -- > reboot of host).
Now I tried the following:.........

I heard is is possible under some circumstances to swap a Vista licence back to an XP licence and would like to investigate if it is possible for me to do this. My reasons are the poor networking performance of Vista cf XP and also the fact that none of the MS development systems I am using (VS6 and VS2003.NET) will run on Vista.

I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1. I have a non-encrypted C drive that is not on a raid. with very low space. I have a new larger drive that I want to turn into my C drive and get rid of the small one. Is there a way to transfer my C drive over to new drive then swap them, If so can someone point me in the direction to find/figure out how? I'm trying to avoid having to go through 20+ hours of reinstalling and upating all of my stuff.

Vista Recycle Bin not emptying. The Recycle Bin appears to be functioning correctly, in that the context menu option to 'Empty Recycle Bin' greys out, the icon changes, and even the $RECYCLE.BIN folder (and subfolder 'Recycle Bin') show empty (hidden and operating system files not hidden) with total size around 20K. However, when running a full Windows Defender scan (with an "empty" Recycle Bin), a large list of files are lsited as being scanned within the Recycle Bin, within a sub-folder (not otherwise shown) corresponding to the HKEY_USERS key 'S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx' (actual key replaced by x's).
When used Explorer to go directly to folder 'C:$Recycle.BinS-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx' I am taken to 'C:$Recycle.Bin ecycle Bin'. which is of course empty. If I manually delete the Recycle Bin a number of folders and files are listed for confirmation to be deleted, which also are not listed within Explorer (or on Recycle Bin properties). The Recycle Bin is automatically recreated, and the hidden files seem to disappear, but the problem again manifests itself over time. Why are these file not being deleted by emptying the Recycle Bin, why can I not see them, and how can I delete them routinely?

I just noticed: I drag a file into Recycle Bin...it doesn't show it's in there.
Yet when I right click on the recycle bin icon to delete, it says the usual 'do you want to delete this,' and I say yes, and it's gone.
Why can't I see there's trash IN the recycle bin? I know I musta clicked something.

Last night I had the silly idea of backing up my pc (using vistas inbuilt backup) when I was tired and sleepy. You guessed it, I ended up deleting some very, very important files from my pc instead of my removeable on whch I needed space. Allsorts of files: canon RAW, photoshop, indesign. I did this through my recycle bin. About 50gbs worth. I realised at the time and immediately stopped using the computer and switched it off. I am now surfing using an old computer. I have read threads about 'recuver' and I'm going to test it on this computer. My question is this: How do I install it on the pc with the lost files, without it overwriting on the space where my files where? The pc in question had a partition and all the files were from one partition, so if I install it on that partition is that ok?

Windows Vista Home Premium I receive a message when attempting to delete any file or any action regading the Recycle Bin that reads: "The Recycle Bin on C: is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?" There is a choice for Yes and No. When I choose "Yes" the notice posted that it is "Deleting 1 item (2.28 KB)" and the progress bar indicates activity. When I click on the "More information" button, I find it is indicating: Time remaining: Calculating...Items remaining: Discovered 1 item (2.28 KB)... Speed: Calculating...This morning I started the process and went out for breakfast. On my return an hour and one-half later it was still running. When I open the Recycle Bin, no items show, but the the dreaded messsages appears. I will close only when clicking the "No" button twice.

My recycle bin is full!!! I didn't do it, I don't even know what some of the stuff is. A ton of stuff was put in it on June 19 and I wasn't even home then. In fact, there are a couple things in there that were in my documents (lists of medications, etc.) that I know I didn't put in there.

I have had this laptop (from new) about 8 months and have just discovered that the recyle bin is empty - I have never emptied it. That was yesterday when I noticed. Today I deleted some files and the recyle bin was immediately empty. How can I change this please? I KNOW it's just trash but occasionally I have deleted the wrong file so I like to be able to have one more chance before it's gone forever. I am using Vista home premium

When I delete a file the icon of the bin doesn't show me that the bin is full, as it used to show. Also at the specific moment the "empty recycle bin" command is gray and doesn't give me the option to empty the bin. When I right click and "open" the bin, automatically the icon becomes full again!
I wonder why this is happening! It is the first time as a long time user that I face such a weird problem.
I have to tell that I checked my pc for virus, malware and ad-ware and it is clean.

I have a habit to see the date of delete of the files in recycle bin before i permanently erase them. Each time i open the recycle bin folder, the right pane view is always in Tiles mode, even i have changed it to Details mode. Vista has totally no memory about this. That is not something very difficult but i do not know why xp can do it, but vista cant !

I deleted something and could not find it in the recycle bin, and it shows 3 items in there, but when I empty the recycle bin, it said 6 item deleted. So I guess my recycle bin is not displaying all the item?
