Delete contents of the Recycler Directory
Hi,
I need to free up space on a my Servers F:\ drive and have seen there is 3GB in the F:\Recycler directory. I have emptied the trash can but the file still remain. If I go to manually delete these files I get a warning saying that these are system files and it could cause issues. Can I manually delete these files without causing issues to the OS?
Thanks

There are no files in the bin but there are two files in F:\RECYCLER, they both have file names which look like SIDs. Can they be deleted?
Thanks

Copied the files and the servers not complaining......cheers mate.
no worries
depends which system files they are - if they are in the bin then you will be fine, just back them up somehwere first if you are worried
