Carol asks…
When a computer virus scan is being carried out, are files in the Recycle bin also checked?
My weekly scan took twice as long as usual today but I’ve got a lot of deleted files and folders in my recycle bin. Are these also checked as part of the scan?
The Expert answers:
That would depend on what you have enabled in scan settings in your anti-virus program..
Sandra asks…
On a mac, How do I recover files after i have emptied the recycle bin?
I accidentally deleted some files that I need and I have already emptied my recycle bin of my mac. Is there a way for me to recover these files without having to buy some crazy software?
The Expert answers:
No, you will need specialized software. Data Rescue II is an excellent tool for this. I’d advise you to stop using the computer immediately and pursue recovery ASAP. The longer you wait and the more changes you make to your hard drive, the less likely you will be able to recover that data.

Charles asks…
What can I do if my files i delete never get to the recycle bin?
i have been sending some of the junk ad stuff i dnt want anymore to the recycle bin and wen i look on my recycle bin to delete it permentley from my computer, none of the files r there. I don’t know what to do. Please help me?
The Expert answers:
I think you mean you are deleting the junk advert emails? Deleted emails never go to the recycle bin.
If you delete items from web mail (like Yahoo.com) then you should have a folder marked something like “Trash” on the web page, where you can delete them from. If you are using Outlook Express, then you should have a “Deleted Items” folder, where you can delete them from.
Hope it helps a bit!
Helen asks…
How can I recover photos I have deleted from my recycle bin?
I have downloaded a couple of free software things for recovering deleted items. It comes back with all sorts like banners and logos for websites I have been on. Can I specify it searches items deleted from my recycle bin when I do a search? If so, how!

The Expert answers:
I actually own a program that has a special search it can perform for deleted or lost recycle bins. You can try it out for yourself at:

Make sure you act quickly though. The files you are attempting to recover can be overwritten at any time.
James asks…
How much disk space should the recycle bin use, in Windows XP?
I just checked my Recycle Bin by right-clicking on the icon and selecting properties. 4GB of hard disk space is “devoted” to recycle bin? What? Does this seem like too much? 4GB? Are you kidding me?
How about if I reduce the size of my recycle bin since i usually delete everything once it goes in there? Will this effect performance? Maybe have to reboot to see if it affects the overall size of my drive?
The Expert answers:
U can safely reduce it to 5% do the same w/ ur system restore there is no need to have 3 mths of retore points also turn off hibernation to save an additional approx 500 mb it is just a waste of disk spaceand resources bill g. Isn’t always thinking correctly

Richard asks…
After a file is deleted and the recycle bin emptied, is there any way to recover a file?
A rather large file I needed to use on my computer must have been deleted accidently. The recycle bin had been recently emptied and the file wasn’t there. I need to know how to find and recover the file off my computer. The file was a Quatro Pro data file.
The Expert answers:
Probably.
“Recover My Files is compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/2003/XP and Vista and works with FAT 12, FAT 16, FAT 32, NTFS and NTFS5 file-systems.
With a deleted file the data content of the file is rarely destroyed. Even if Windows file reference information has been destroyed, Recover My Files scans the data at a low level to locate “Lost Files” by their internal file structure. This allows Recover My Files to recover deleted files that other data recovery software can never know exist.”
