Recycle Bin

[Brink]

I am putting bad on rating for my question!

Hello Jhmac,

We are not sitting at your computer and do not know what you are seeing, so we cannot help you if you do not help us by replying back with what was requested in the replies above.

The systems were all mine bought by me. I have no trouble with spyware. I have two machines and both have the same problem since Win 7 was installed on both machines. Why would a bug or virus infect two machines the same way and the recycle bins? One machine is an intel machine and the other is AMD. I would give you the Belaec Advisor info but why bother.

Thanks for trying!

Maguscreed you probably have the closest answer! Thanks for trying. I will just have to put up with it.

paste this including the colons into the run box. and press enter.

Hello,
Try this:
Decrease the Recycle Bin size to the lowest. Visit Recycle Bin storage size - Vista Forums for how-to.
Use your pc as usual.
Now, since the bin's size has been desecred, the culprit process won't have much space to delete files to the bin and will very likely throw an error/pop-up and this way we may find the culprit.
Or if your even brave, tick the box 'Do not delete files to recycle bin' or similar and see if any pop-up appears.

nice advice @EzioAuditore. why don't the op try and run ccleaner to see what the files are in the bin? CCleaner - Standard

i don't understand why the op can not post the files in a report to us to see why he has so many files in the bin so we can establish what is going on what is causing the bin to fill up maybe male-ware or a virus ? is there not a cmd in elevated cmd promt to get a report? i am sure there is or can he not get into safe run and see there?

 

[EzioAuditore]

is there not a cmd in elevated cmd promt to get a report?

I know only of this one:

dir C:\$Recycle.Bin /s /b >> recyclebin.txt

But the filenames in output are garbled very much like code names, couldn't get it working the right way, so stopped working on it.

 

[brianzion]

can he not redirect the recycle bin into a new folder and max the size to say 5GB and save the data there? i wonder what temp files are on his system and has he looked at the possibility windows/other software temp files are being directed to the bin?

 

[EzioAuditore]

I'm outta here unless and until the OP tells what exactly the files are- their names, extentions.
Knowing this may help track down the cause.

 

[mitchell65]

I have just read this OP's previous posts in other threads and it would seem that he has been deleting some "Application Data" files having changed the permissions, it was never established really why he did this! I would guess that his PC is in the condition that only a complete clean install would solve the problems he has. He does seem a little reluctant to list the files in the bin that are causing the trouble. He did say that he thought he had a dud copy of Windows 7 but hasn't said where it came from. This info might help us help him!

Jhmac,

You can upload up to a 2MB PNG file and attach it to your post.

If it's larger thatn 2MB, then you can ZIP the PNG file and upload it here, I'll be happy to convert it to ICO file for you and post it back for you to download it.
