Not all Deleted items show up in Recycle Bin
Windows 7-SP1
This is only happening on my internal data drive ( E: ), system drive ( C: ) and external drives ( F:, G & H: ) are OK.
If I delete up to 6 items in a single operation (folders, files or a mixture) the items show up in the recycle bin. But if its 36 then 30 items will not be in the recycle bin, and the 6 that are there are not the first or last 6. If its 80 items then 74 wont be in the recycle.bin etc, etc, If I delete 200 items in a single operation from the C: drive then all 200 will be in the recycle bin.
Weird. I tried creating a fresh $recycle.bin on E: (by removing it), that didn't fix it.
This drive also contains E:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-117609710-2025429265-682003330-1004 which I believe is the recycle bin contents. If I remove this directory will windows create a fresh one?
I ran chckdsk on the drive in mid-May no errors reported and SMART say its healthy, anyway its not a hardware issue.
