Show Hidden Program or System Files

May I ask why you would want to delete it, though???

 

This from MS said it applies to NT4.

So by design you can't find it.

If you explore C:\ you will find the folder/directory and if you right click and select properties, you will see the size. Since I erase most things instead of deleting, my recycler is 85 bytes.
Some one said they safely removed the contents of recycler by relocating it to another name folder then erasing that folder.
You won't be able to delete the directory because it is part of the windows OS.

 

nothin i just want to and i saw some video that is big,but i'm confuse how can have recycler i am on fat32!

 

The filesystem doesnt determine whether you have this folder or not.

I guess the main question here is, what OS are you running?

 

Regardless of whether you have the recycler folder or not, you probably shouldn't set out on a mission to erase it. You might have some problems in the future if you do.

That's just my opinion though.

 

It rebuilds itself.

 

my os is windows xp sp2 i don't mean erase the folder but to delete the content

 

Do you have the recycle bin on your desktop?:confusedIf not try this:http://www.dougknox.com/
Open Win XP Fixes>restores the desktop recycle bin icon,and click Download.

And download CCleaner,great app for delete un used and unnecessary files from your comp.

 

yes i do have my recycle bin icon on my deskstop,that is not my problem but the recycler folder that i always see if i try to look at my document when trying to burn a file using nero,i just want to delete or empty the folder coz what i see inside when i double click the folder r some of my video and movies.if i close nero and look again for the file on my document i can't find the recycler folder,that is my problem how to manually find the folder,

 

Then open Nero,find the folder and right click and choose properties.See if hidden is uncheck.Or why don't you find the folder and create shortcut on your desktop?

 

Hi,finally i was able to trace the folder called recycler and it's not a real recycler folder but a folder that was rename by a tool of mine called hide folder.finally i was able to figure out how and why,Thanks to goran for giving me advice to look into nero it seems that nero can still find it even if it's hidden at the my document,also thanks for the advice to all of you guys here at majorgeek the best forum for me
