Folder-specific recycle bin behaviour
- client is using an RDS server (VM) for roughly 7 users
- we recently moved them from a Windows 2016 server to a new 2019 server (also a VM)
- some of the users are also running Datto Workplace sync & share on their remote desktops
- one of these users swears that on the Windows 2016 server, items they deleted from the Workplace folder would bypass the Recycle Bin, but that items deleted from the Desktop would go into the Recycle Bin by default
- user would like to see this behaviour on the new server
- Datto confirmed that this is not a feature that their software has
- from what I can see, there is no option for changing the default Recycle Bin behaviour from within a specific folder (settings to bypass recycle bin will apply to the entire drive), but the client insists that this was set up before
Is there a practical way to make items bypass the Recycle Bin from a specific folder only (similar to how items on different network drives will bypass the Recycle Bin)?

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately, the Workplace folder is not in a separate drive.
It looks like there would be several steps involved to achieve something similar to what the user wants, including redirecting the Workplace folder to a network share.
I think it's looking likely that the user is inaccurately remembering how the Recycle Bin behaved on the old server.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You can configure a different behavior for different drives.
Right-click on the Recycle Bin -> Properties -> select the drive and customize the settings.
If you want to get closer to what the user wants, you have to go deeper.
