George asks…
how do I delete the RECYCLER folder on my external hard drive?
There are viruses in it. I have tried safe mode. (no joy)
It tells me I can’t delete it because it is either write protected or in use.
Please can you help me?
(also, I can’t move the contents because I don’t have any more space)
The Expert answers:
¶The first step is to open the properties menu from the Recycle Bin on the desktop
“Right click” and select “Properties” from the context menu
once in the properties dialogs change the setting from global to manage individual drives
then change the setting for the individual drive with the problem to 0% and
also select the “Do Not Move Files to the Recycle Bin” check box
click apply
open windows explorer and navigate to that drive
that should wipe all the files out of the bin on that drive
next step try and delete the RECYCLER folder again
in windows explorer select the option to display folders in the left pane
then right click on the RECYCLER folder in the left pane
press and hold the shift key and press the D key
if it still says “in use …”
then the next step is to get the tool from MS website called Process Explorer
once you have Process Explorer
run it
in the “Find” menu is
“Find Handle or DLL …”
type in the find dialog
RECYCLER
close every RECYCLER “handle” that appears in the search results
after all the handles are closed
go back to the drive in windows explorer and attempt to delete again
if you still can not delete
then your system is still running an infected file locking the RECYCLER folder
a clean system can delete the RECYCLER folder from any administrator account, limited accounts are a no go.
Side Note:
RECYCLER – (all Caps) is created on FAT & FAT32 Disks
Recycled – is created on NTFS Disks
These folders are created only when a file is deleted from within windows explorer or an explorer based file dialog
even when the Recycle Bin is set to 0%
When “Shift+Delete” is used then the file(s) are just bombed and no Recycle Bin folder is created.

how to remove recycler file ( virus) from my computer and pen drive?
Even from dos comment I am not able to remove it. Formating the pen drive also not useful. I have AVG free (uptated daily) in my computer
The Expert answers:
AVG is not a good ‘remover’ of infections – it is more of a scanner –
You need Malwarebytes and SUPERantispyware to remove infections –
You could also use Spybot S & D and Ad Aware to remove problems –
All these programs are free to D/load and use – (Just Google them –

Ruth asks…
How do I get rid of the G:RECYCLER folder? What is it for?
I was clearing out my hard drive and did a Drive Report with Ashampoo WinOptimiser, and discovered that over 10% of my drive was being used up by a folder called ‘RECYCLER‘. I can’t access it, and when I did manage to delete one of the folders with strange names it didn’t seem to clear any space.
I am running out of disk space and I could really use those extra gigabytes. Is there a way of getting rid of it?
Thanks,
Wasila
The Expert answers:
If I am right, recycler is the place where windows stores information about the files you have deleted, this information is used by some undeleters (programs that bring back deleted files) to bring the files back. If you think you will ever need to bring back your files, do not delete it. If you are sure and desperate about deleting it, use unlocker , one of my favorite and yet small application. Here is the URL http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

How do you eliminate the “recycler” and the “autorun.inf” virus?
It is said many antivirus solutions cannot eliminate them and that special programs or special manual procedures are needed.
