Welcome to the forum.
$RECYCLE.BIN is where files in the recycle bin are stored. There should be such a folder on every local and external drive. It cannot be deleted by normal methods and you should not attempt to do so.
Hello Hassanesa, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)
Has Larry posted above, it's perfectly normal.
You should only delete the $RECYCLE.BIN file using the method in the tutorial below if you are having an issue with the Recycle Bin for a drive.

Run a system file check, it may fix it.
You should have only removed the recycle bin and not deleted it.

NB: the problem just in D: partition in the C: that include system dont has this problem.

The document issue doesn't seem related to the $RECYCLE.BIN folder. Does reinstalling the program that added the Agouram screen saver (.scr) help?
Is your $RECYCLE.BIN folder still not hidden? If not, then run the command below in an elevated command prompt to restore its default attributes.
attrib +s +h +I "D:\$RECYCLE.BIN"
Dear Brink,
the $RECYCLE.BIN folder return again and the other folder has 40KB size ,I performed the cmd that you give but in vain !!!!
The $RECYCLE.BIN folder is supposed to be there, but it should be set with a hidden system attribute.
The screensaver looks like it's part of a program, and may not work properly if moved from it's installation source. Does reinstalling the program that added the Agouram screen saver (.scr) help?
agouram is just a folder that has many word file.
