reappearing items in recycle bin

15 years ago

Hi,

After emptying my bin, a month will go by and those items I thought were emptied are back again. I have had this happen a number of times now and would like to free ( once and for all) this space in my bin. Any clues ?

Thanks, salbwil

See the link # 64- replace/repair the recycle bin in Windows xp

To use the Regedits: Save the REG File to your hard disk.

Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt.

i would think that you could recycle them- they melt the plastic in reforming it so dirt & impurities should burn out. I've recycled some of mine.

Had to google cheanmgr -sagerun101 to find out what that is and I ended up at my start, all programs, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup. I read all the descriptions and clicked OK and when it was done, I restarted my computer and tried to send something to the recycle bin. It seems to be working now as I see the list so I can go to File, Empty Recycle Bin. Thank you. Ready for another issue Mikie??

So, they are showing up in your recently used worksheet list? Here is an excerpt from Excel help: Display or hide recently used workbooks on the File menu For easy access to workbooks that you frequently work on, you can display up to nine recently used workbooks on the File menu. You can also hide them or clear their history. On the Tools menu, click Options. On the General tab, do one of the following: To display a list of recently used workbooks, select the Recently used file list check box, and then select the number of entries you want. To hide or clear the history of recently used workbooks, clear the Recently used file list check box. The list of recently used workbooks is cleared, and no history of your workbook usage is kept. To start a new history of recently used workbooks, click OK, and then repeat the previous steps to start displaying recently used workbooks again. Note Only workbooks that you open and save after you select the check box are listed on the File menu. You must also restart Excel to see them listed. HTH, the other Pam

I use plastic shopping bags to line small trash cans, like in the bathroom & office...also for doggy-doo pickup bags on walks. The small plastic produce bags - I only get those if I'm getting something like green beans that have to be bagged - get used for sandwich bags etc; instead of buying sandwich bags, which has always seemed really silly to me. Plastic pop bottles and cans get "recycled" at the grocery store for cash. I think bottled water is a horrendous waste of money...I have one of those filter jugs for water, and keep it in the fridge. I used to have a filter that attached to the faucet; that worked very well too. Most bottled water is just filtered tap water anyhow, why pay for it when you can filter your own at home for way less? Plus you're not cluttering landfills with plastic bottles.

"You have to copy the entire file" so click on repair recycle bin on that page a big file will open That's a registry file.

Highlight and copy the entire file with the mouse, then go to your desk top Start>Run type Notepad in the run box hit ok, when NOTEPAD opens paste the file you copied into notepad ok that part done.

Now Still in NOTEPAD at the top Choose file, choose SAVE AS name the file, In the file name box TO---->FixMe.reg
Below I will paste a copy of the file from that page that's what you want to copy and paste the entire page ALL the text into NOTEPAD. only note pad will work, don't go using word pad.

That should fix the recycle bin, unless something else is going on.

Hi,
I clicked on marooma's link and downloaded to the desktop. But, when I click on it, there is no choice for merge.
Now what? And thank you.

Hi,
Sorry, but all those items are back, as of yesterday. I thought it was indeed fixed, but... It's weird ; the same items are reappearing, but new items that have been deleted are not there.

I might delete them and try runnin Revo Uninstaller ... it has a tool... Evidence Remover. Completely Erases Deleted files on the hard drive - takes a few minutes.

Also,, sounds like IF you can and want to restore them, after a reboot maybe just delete them again,, since delete seems to work. Possible when you restore them windows will discover they dont exist and may clean up the records.

Can't tell right now as they are presently gone, but I do know that one of them is a set of house plans my daughter placed on my computer. That is really how I recognize that they are reappearing.
