Locks, permission, lost shares
Hello,
My 1st issue is the Recycle Bins. At one point my computer which has a 500 MB C: with the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit instlled on it. A 2nd Drive for backup and copies of the importand stuff. The size of the programs and amounts of photos and general stuff has made it impractical IMHO, to backup to DVD's so that what that drive is for.
I had the System Reserve Areas and the NTFS partition on bot drive showing $Recycle Bins and a lock on them. While troubleshooting I made a share as I am administrator and sole user to allow me to access them. After seeing that they all showed anything I deleted on the C: drive, I wanted to unshare them. So I went to each took the checkmark out of the share box in properties. They still share. As and uninitiate, I also have folders with number like S-1-2-21-987..... on the $Recyce Bin on the C: These will not let me open them
I also noted that my F: drive $Recycle Bin claims to be empty and disk cleanup show 0 in the F: Recycle Bin. When I did an AV scan it displayed large quantities of data files in the F: Recycle Bin.
So my questions are:
1. How do I unshare the locked recycle bin correctly?
2. How do I get rid of unaccessable folders and folders that contain junk data but say the are empty?
3. Are System Reserved partitions supposed to have $Recycle Bins?
4. When I delete a file on the C: I noted that all $Recycle Bins\Recycle Bins showed the same deleted file. Is this a normal operational experience?
Thanks for any assistance as I'm learning a lot on this site.
