duhu Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yesterday i was exploring my Hidden System Fiiles, and i found a folder named RECYCLER on all my partitions.Ive got into it and its has many files with the recycle bin icon, and some of them are 1, 2, even 3 gig in size.Did these files serve on something or is safe to delete them because that 3 gig can be very usefull isnit?thxDdogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Chances are that anything that's in the Recycle Bin is safe to delete. You can use a program like CCleaner to help you sort out leftover junk on your hard drive. System files are a lot smaller than the files you've got, so I don't think you'd run into problems where your computer wouldn't startup again.

darussiaman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thread resurrection! Is it safe to delete the whole RECYCLER folder itself? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrf2027 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The RECYCLER files are just where the Recycle Bin actually stores deleted files. You can delete these files, because Windows will recreate them when something else is deleted (moved to the Recycle Bin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JatinBeniwal Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Safe to delete them by manually or by some software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darussiaman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I see, but is it safe to delete the **folder** named RECYCLER, on any partition (as opposed to the files within that folder)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yes, but there is no point. Once it's empty, it doesn't take any place. And as said before, it will be recreated any time you delete something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
