What can you see in Recycle bin?

I am not talking about recycle bin on your desktop - I want to talk about recycle bin, the hidden folder on your drive.

When you enter this directore, you can see some strange files. Their name is in this structure: D<drive><deleted_number>.<extension>

For example Dc7204.ppt is my unsuccessful presentation, deleted from C drive. It was 7205th deleted file :)

This values means:

  • D as deleted
  • c as disk where the file originaly was
  • # as number of deleted file.
  • ??? as extension.

Where are informations about where is the file from? They are stored in file Info2.

Maybe you find this information useful - I never did :)
