What are Win XP's RECYCLERS Files?

Hello,

Whenever i perform a scan of my pc, whether it be with an antivirus program or diskspace analysis app, i often see in the status reports files named RECYCLERS followed by a bunch of what looks like registry numbers.

the problem is they take up space...a lot of it, it seems. however, when searched in windows explorer nothing comes up. what's the deal with these files and are they important? how do we delete them if they aren't, since they aren't easily found?

any help would be appreciated greatly, thanks in advance...

I haven't used it so I can't say how good it is.

Don't delete the Recycle Bin. You can make it smaller by a right click on the Recycle Bin and choosing properties. If you have multiple drives you can manage the size of the Recycle Bin on each. If the Recycle Bin isn't large enough for a file you want to delete Windows will ask you if you want to remove it permanently. You can then make the Recycle Bin larger so the file will fit in the Recycle Bin, or remove the file bypassing the Recycle Bin.
