Hello Reader,
Tonight on the test kitchen we followed up on a viewer request from Neck aka @AaronSWeiss on twitter to do some $Recycle.Bin testing on Windows 10 and Windows 7. I validated some facts I've tested before, but not necessarily on Windows 10 as well learned new things.
Here is what we learned:
Tonight on the test kitchen we followed up on a viewer request from Neck aka @AaronSWeiss on twitter to do some $Recycle.Bin testing on Windows 10 and Windows 7. I validated some facts I've tested before, but not necessarily on Windows 10 as well learned new things.
Here is what we learned:
- On a fixed disk NTFS drive the $Recycle.Bin will be created as soon as a user copy a files on a drive
- The $Recycle.Bin will contain the sid of the user interacting with the drive
- If the NTFS drive is plugged into another system with a $Recycle.Bin already present the next system will create a directory under the $Recycle.Bin directory with that user's SID
- That the $R files in the recycle bin are really just renamed operations changing the original file name and parent directory on the disk
- That every fixed disk has its own recycle bin, even though Windows presents a unified view
- That on FAT formatted fixed disks that $Recycle.Bin's do not contain a SID directory
- That on FAT formatted fixed disks moved between systems that both systems will share the same $Recycle.Bin directory
