Files deleted by the SL uninstaller don't appear in the Recycle Bin on my Windows XP system.
It seems to me it would be better if they did. Some files deleted by some other programs do appear in the Recycle Bin. In the case that brought this to my attention, it was the uninstaller for the SL Development Viewer and what it deleted was all my chat history, which could have been 7 years of chat history. The uninstaller asks if you want to delete files left in the SL program files folder and then if you answer yes it proceeds to delete not only files in the SL program folder, it also deletes files in the Application Data and Local Settings folder, including files that were created by TPVs. Obviously the uninstaller shouldn't irreplacable user data without asking, as it does, or data in folders created by other programs, as it does, nor should the deletion process be without an easily activated STOP DELETING control, but despite those problems, the damage would be mitigated if one could restore the file from their Recycle Bin or appropriate equivalent. So, is there some reason why these deleted files don't go to the recycle bin? -- v i r t u a l w o r l d e n t h u s i a s t -- http://www.google.com/profiles/s u e z a n n e --
