What purpose does the hidden folder $RECYCLE.BIN have? | Microsoft Community
What purpose does the hidden folder $RECYCLE.BIN have?
- These folders use a lot of space on my partitions (from ~4GB to ~12GB).
- Can I delete the $RECYCLE.BIN folder or will my system crash?
- Similar question goes for the RECYCLER folder.
I have emptied the Recycle Bin and set its size manually to my desired value (which does not have anything in comon with mentioned folders sizes).
