hi,<br />
<br />
A strange one this, I am trying to clean up the c: drive on one of our servers and came across a strange problem with the recyle bin. &nbsp;The properties of the c:\RECYCLER folder show it to be 12.2Gb in size but it only contains 184Kb of data. &nbsp;Is there actually 12.2Gb of info in there or is the machine misreporting the HD space used?<br />
<br />
Its a strange one. &nbsp;Any tips greatly appreciated.

hi,

A strange one this, I am trying to clean up the c: drive on one of our servers and came across a strange problem with the recyle bin.  The properties of the c:\RECYCLER folder show it to be 12.2Gb in size but it only contains 184Kb of data.  Is there actually 12.2Gb of info in there or is the machine misreporting the HD space used?

Its a strange one.  Any tips greatly appreciated.

c:\RECYCLER misreporting (i think)

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
