This is a great option, however, what happens when user with a 10GB recycle bin deletes a 20 GB directory? I am still going to implement this so the next time a file "disappears" I can 100% unequivocally prove that the user did it.

After a reboot it worked like a charm. I have 2 users that this will be implemented on ASAP! I may not have to do a restore for months at a time now.
