- jdthedisciple 8mo agoMakes total sense, it used to be called "Recycle Bin" after all!
- whamlastxmas 8mo agoI wonder if Microsoft did focus group testing and found understandably computer illiterate people were concerned about "trashing" files meant they were somehow permanently using up HDD space
- geoffbp 8mo agoWorked ok til it was a system dir and the system wouldn’t boot anymore? :)

- energy123 8mo agoI deleted the files from there to free up disk space
