Deleting to recycle bin not working correctly

Post by *Thany »

When I tell TC that F8/Del deletes to recycle bin, folders are still deleted recursively, and the files in them to not show up in the recycle bin...

Files in TC are deleted one by one, so you dont see the folder in the recycle bin, but all the files. If you want to have the explorer way, enable this option: Options / Copy/Delete / Use Explorer delete method (faster, cannot handle comments)

In this case TC uses windows settings of recycle bin. You should check this windows settings (or test by windows explorer)
If you want to have the explorer way,
then you could use context menu (SHIFT+F10, Delete). :D :P

I don't want it "the explorer way", I'm just saying that when I tell TC to delete to the recycle bin, that's not what happens.

If you delete a file in Explorer, is it in the Recycle Bin afterwards?

Absolutely.

But that's not the problem. Deleting a single file within TC gets it to the recycle bin. But deleting a folder doesn't move it to the recycle bin. In stead, it only moves the files one by one to the recycle bin. And that's not how it's supposed to work.

Thany,
What happens if you turn off Configuration - Options - Operation - Copy comments with files?

Yep. That is so. If you want to have the explorer way of deleting directories - see postings above. :D :P

Change your expectations. ;) :P

As nevidimka unpolitely ;-) said above, this is by design. If you restore any of those deleted files, they will go back to their original location, so actually the folder information is there. All deleted folders will be recreated this way.

As nevidimka unpolitely said
:? That is your interpretation. Would you be so kind and polite, that if you write about your feelings/interpretations then please don't write as that is a fact. ;) :D :P

I like your way to write about facts.

[mod]SanskritFritz, nevidimka, Sheepdog,
Please do not tell other users what they should or should not write and do not moderate other users (see guidelines).
Let's return to the original topic.
Thanks.

Hacker, nevidimka

I very carefully have put a smiley after my statement. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
