Vista: Deleted files show no trash

Similar Questions

• Cannot delete files to the trash (Recycle Bin access denied)

  System: Windows 7 Ent SP1 x 64, i7 930, 24GO RAM with all updates

  When I try to delete files in Windows Explorer, I get the following error (most of the time, but not always):

  Window with the title 'Recycle Bin access denied' and the message

  " cannot be moved to the trash. Do you want to permanently delete it? »

  I can then permanently delete the file, even if I sent to the trash.

  I tried the following (nothing works):

  -checked to see if the file is locked with Process Explorer (find handle or DLL)-it is not (and it can be removed permanently)

  -deleted all the recycle bins on all drives & restarted. New recycling bins have been created, but it did not help.

  -changed of owner of baskets and all files as (with the takeown command). Corrupt system baskets complained, emptied their and restored to their previous state. This did not help the primary problem.

  -set the maximum size to the size of the disk on all baskets. It has no effect on the main problem.

  -J' also checked the security for the folders tab $RECYCLE. BIN on all readers and define "Full control" for users. SYSTEM and administrators had already 'Full comtrol. This did not help also.

  What is strange (and new), is when I open the Recycle Bin, the files are always considered to be "Tiles" (which I did not). If I put it in 'Détails', the change is not permanent - the next time I open the Recycle Bin, the files are showed once again as "Tiles".

  What can I do to be able to delete (all) files via the Recycle Bin?

  Thanks Mike for the response, but none of the methods helped. There was no malware and even in safe mode, I could not delete files to the Recycle Bin. In addition, the original administrator account could not delete to the Recycle Bin.

  But I think I found the culprit:

  Apparently, this problem showed that in the downloads folder, to which I had many junctions (to be easily accessible). Due to lack of space on the C: drive, I remembered that I have moved through properties-> location on a disk with more space. Instead of the old folder in C:\Users\ downloads I put a junction pointing to the new location.

  Now, I had old junctions pointing to C:\Users\personal, which in turn was a junction pointing to a new location. Registration/creation/look at one/etc files in folder downloads accessible through 2 junctions was of course OK, but delete somehow was not able to delete files to the Recycle Bin. When I fixed the remaining junctions to point directly to the new location of the download folder, delete started working OK again.

  Summary:

  Delete the file (SHFileOperation?) is not able to use the trash, if the file is accessible via junction 2 points (or more?).

• Deleted files show is not in the Recycle Bin

  When I include a network folder in windows 7 or modify the 'Documents' target the destination to a network in XP folder... deleted files do not appear in the trash... This can be corrected?

  Unfortunately, this is the way Windows has always worked and the behavior is not editable.

  If you Google/Bing this problem, there are a few suggestions for workaround solutions that some people have used.

• Folder for deleted files is called 'Trash' on another PC, it is named 'Deleted' - why?

  Identical copies of Thunderbird 24.4.0 on two PC but deleted folder a different name: one is "deleted", the other is "Trash".

  "Deleted" is the name of the basket basket for the GB English version, while it is called "Trash" in the American version. (The same applies to SeaMonkey).

• Cannot permanently delete files in the trash

  I have a file in the Recycle Bin that contains 2 other empty folders. When I try to empty the trash he says that the top folder is in use.  When I try to permanently delete the folders below it says that I don't have permission even if I read / write on all 3.  How can I get rid of these?

  Try to restart, then empty the trash.

• Put the files in the trash, empty the trash, and then doing some other stuff, and then when I couldn't find the files again, I reinstalled windows vista... now I need/want these files

  I sent files to the trash, and then I emptied the trash, and then realized that I only need/want these files, so I went to look for them, then screwed up everything while doing so somehow a shortcut on my desktop, then I put in the disc to reboot/reinstall the entire system windows vista... can we recover these items , or they are gone forever?

  I don't know what kind to reinstall you did.  If it was a repair/upgrade, you may be in better shape (fact he preserve your data and programs after the re - install - then you have made the right kind of re - install).

  If you did a reinstall to repair/upgrade and if you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  If this does not work, here are a few free recovery programs that might help (if you did a lot for the system, because the files have been deleted, then chances are that less as they might otherwise be - see notes below):

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/downloads/Recuva/dlrecuva.html

  http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).  The fact that you did a re - install is not good for what is successful, - but it's worth a try.

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• Tried to delete files on the desktop, but it showed "Item not found"!

  I wanted to delete files on my desk. But he showed "Item not found", ask me to locate the file. But I searched the entire computer, the file is no longer exist. But he was still showing on the desktop!

  What can I do to remove them? Because they are really boring!

  Are you sure that it is a folder on your desktop and not just a shortcut (a link to the actual file)?  The actual file can be located elsewhere.

  Check C:\Users\\Desktop, and see if the files are there.  If so, try removing them from there (instead of from the desktop).  It shouldn't make a difference, but it might work.

  Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder (from two places).  Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php of files (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/) or Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  Search for files in Vista is quite different that it was with XP.  To search for a file with a normal search in Vista, it should be in the index files or types of files - otherwise it will not come to the top.  You CAN get to get to a FULL player search.  To search for the folder C: whole disk in Vista go to start / search and type in ' or '. As you type, you'll see two hyperlinks appear just above where you type and we'll search everywhere.  A click on it.  Who will do a fast indexed search and bring up a dialog box.  Click on advanced search.  Click the drop-down location and find the C: drive and click on it. Check the box "include not indexed, hidden and system files (might be slow).»  Then click on search.  You will now search your entire hard drive to the specified file.  And Yes, this isn't a very effective way to search the entire disk for a file but it is how it is done in Vista.  Once you find the file, try to remove normally and if it does not then try to use both products above to see if you have a better chance.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Deleting files off Vista this state you do not have permission

  I am trying to install the Windows 7 upgrade, but a program was discovered during installation, noting it is not compatible with Windows 7 and I had to stop the installation to remove the file.  When I go into Control Panel to remove the program it states I have not permission to delete.  I tried to delete the file from the Windows desktop, and again it says I don't have permission.  I deleted some other programs do not have "gave me this problem.  The show is Softex Omnipass which is a program that came with a fingerprint reader.  I was installed on my pc, but not used it.  Any help to get this thing jump off my pc will be appreciated.

  First of all, you can try to uninstall it (you should not try to remove it except as a last resort because this leaves pieces in the Windows directory and the registry) using Revo at: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html.  Often, this uninstalls programs when the normal Vista uninstall program does not work.

  It could also be a matter of permissions:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.
   
  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.

  If this does not work, you can delete the program files.  Try using one of the following free products to remove the files.  Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php of files (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/) or Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml.  These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

• Why isn't suddenly deleted files is no longer testify in Trash like they used to do

  This morning I deleted an e-mail and then realized I needed some information from it. I naturally expect to end up in the trash, as always, but when I open the trash can none of my deleted files are there. I don't have a "blank out" together. I use Thunderbird 31.4, on Windows 7 Professional. I rebooted both Thunderbird and Windows, to no avail. I have not changed my account settings or options. This has not happened before. Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you for all your efforts. As I said, I'm afraid the first link leads to an element in Swedish (I think), which was just a single line and not recognizable as something I knew. Your second link leads to an article in English (thanks) and has shown a page of "settings". I put no parameters of "Empty on exit", or something similar, which could have been what you were suggesting that I look at.

  Since then, as announced, I did an uninstall and reinstall and now all is well. I can only assume that Thunderbird somehow became corrupted. Otherwise, it's a mystery. Still a bit of an annoyance if, as I do not do not know why things happen.

  Thank you once again.
