Can someone explain the presence of these folders? WM5 doesn't use a recycle bin, does it? :hide:

Yikes! How did this get in HW deals? Please move to WM5!

A deal no longer... ;)

I discovered that folder the other day too. I think it is part of Resco File Explorer. It creates a recycle bin when you install it and I think that is the folder where it puts stuff.

I believe Resco Explorer's Recycle folder is called ~Recycle

Thanks Gigi!

right, it is but when you empty the recycle bin they both are now empty. at least that is what happened on mine.

Its on my x51v and I dont have any RESCO programs installed?

It's on my X50v with WM5. I have never used Resco.

This is really weird: i had that folder until the other day and then it was gone. and now it is back. It showed up on my sd card. when i look at the properties it shows as empty but it also shows attributes of read only, Archive, ROM, hidden and system. So it would appear that you are correct, EngrPaul. it looks like wm5 has created it but it doesn't seem to be usable or at least i cant figure out how to use it.

Well when you delete a file from the built in memory it just marks it as needing to be deleted and only does it when your processor has extra time or when you run out of storage but you said its on the SD card.

When I put a SD card in, then that folder showed up. Before that I had never seen it before.
