I believe you can just delete everything in the folder and when the users drag or put something else in their recycle bin, it will recreate their recycler folder...

Yes, for some values of "deleted". More accurately, it contains the files "dragged to the Recycle Bin" in Windows Explorer, or otherwise moved there through equivalent menu commands, keyboard shortcuts, API calls, etc. Not all "delete" commands use the recycle bin, though. > I have multiple "Recycle Bins" under this folder Every user gets their own "Recycle Bin" folder, for security reasons. Otherwise, everybody would be able to go through everybody else's trash, so to speak. > Is this real size ... The files in the Recycle Bin do use disk space. > ... that I could clear up if I choose to empty the recycle bin ... Emptying a Recycle Bin which contains files will free up disk space. I'm not sure how to "empty the Recycle Bin for all users", so to speak. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
