you try to delete a file and this happens:rollin:
I was deleting some music off my external tera drive and my old desktop here just informed my my trash can aint big enough.
ehh, I see that particular message a lot lol
Then again, I run xp...so maybe it IS that OS..?
This has everything to do with the size of your Recycle Bin and disk space dedicated for it - and not the age of the computer. Right-Click on your Recycle Bin and select Properties. You'll see a slider option with a "maximum size of Recycle Bin (percent of each drive)" value that is adjustable. If the file you're deleting is larger than this setting, then you'll receive that message.
That happens every time I delete a netflix dvd from my hard drive.
i think the "E:/" LOL that sums it all. FTWMF
seen that since windows 95. bin is set to small or your running out of free space to handle the file.
hehe, I have an E:, F:, G:, H:, I:, J:, K:, L: drives :rollin:
What's a recycle bin???

Haha...I actually just got burned by this, this morning. Yesterday i made the jump to windows 7 on this PC. I partitioned the C drive and created A for all my documents, pictures, executables, games. About 25 gigs. I had them backed up on another internal drive i generally use for movie storage only so i wanted to get them off of there. Before bed i copy-pasted the folder onto A from there. This morning first thing before really being awake i deleated what i thought was the first copy that i copied from but as things turned out, it was the copy on A drive and as a kicker, i didn't copy-pase last night i cut-paste. Clicking OK was exactly like locking and shutting the car door with your keys inside. (done that only once in my life). Similar feeling.
Oh well, If anyone thinks they know a way to recover that then clue me in but something about the words "permanantly delete" leave me less than optimistic.
I D/L a recovery from cnet that locates all the deleted files but have to pay if you want to recover them... I was looking for deleted Mp3 files on a computer I bought, mostly had Michael Jackson, said screw this...
I know what you were hoping for...dirty old man :hick:
Any chance you know the name of the program?
I'm sure lol
Sorry I couldn't resist :rollin::rollin:
(sorry MJ, you still the king though!)
I don't remember the program name but I believe it's still on that computer, I'll check...
I actually just put a new system together. AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz quadcore, Asus am3 board, 4gb ddr3 1333, radeon HD 5770. Its nice but I had to reuse my 120gig ide hard drive from 2003. Its already 75% full.
Windows 7 is pretty nice by the way.
ive never seen that message before as i never let anything go to the recycling bin, i just have it set deleted permenantly.
i knew my computer was too old when i tried to download a factory service manual and i had to remove a bit more than half the files on my computer to make space for it.
seriously :hick:
I have that happen when clearing movies off the HD, but I don't know why it would transfer deleted files from your external to your RB. This is why Sync worries me.
Shift + Del = problem solved
These were internal drives but same difference really.
What's that supposed to do?
It skips the Recycle bin.
does anyone have a whole list of hot keys?
first result on scroogle search
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic1841.html
Right, so how does that help....
I didn't suggest it. I answered your question as to what the suggested Hot keys did that was previously suggested by another user.
Skipping the Recycle bin, for that instance, would not result in the prompt that was discussed in this thread. In that way, I'm guessing it does help.
That's what seems to be the strange occurrence here. He was deleting files from an external drive, yet they were being transferred to his recycle bin.
That's because, generally, each partition has it's own sub-recycle bin (data) that gets used with the main recycle bin.
Right on. Kind if the opposite of what i was looking for but yeah...
That's part of what i wasn't sure on, weather or not each drive has a certain amount of space allotted for "recycling bin" or if information got moved to the main drives RB.
Im all set anyway, Managed to get back what i could remember i had on there that had any significance..
Sorry, it wasn't aimed at you but the thread in general. On older and single-purpose/static virtual machines with small virtual disks at work I see this occasionally and cannot remove anything from the partitions. This hotkey is used often instead of wasting time with Windows trying to decide if it can move it to the recycle bin or not.
You can never have enough space - I've only got 10GB free out of my 3 partitions on one of my 1.5TB drives, 770GB on the other mirrored array. New or old, all computers alike can have these space issues, especially when recording high definition tv or editing high definition camcorder recordings.
Each drive can be set independently of each other. HOWEVER, that will produce different results when deleting files, based on the size of the Bin on each drive. You can even disable the Bin on drives you know you are just gonna toss things off of, and never want to see again.
I have a 1.3 TB disk which I partitioned in 100GB partitions. Yes, folks, that's like having ten 100GB hard disks. Here's where some custom tuning can pay off on drive speed.
If you want to make your system a little faster, then move your paging file (pagefile.sys) to a different partition from the one the OS is installed on. It seems contradictory that it would be faster, but here's the rub. With it on a different drive, there's less fragmentation of the page file, AND less fragmentation of other files that get written to on a frequent basis (because of swapping out freed clusters). All of this is due to the same old file handling system designed for DOS in 1984. Directory handling has improved, but overall file handling techniques haven't changed a bit.
Or if it's on the same drive, just set it to a fixed size to begin with and there will be no fragmentation...
I always recommend making at least a single small partition at the front of a drive for the short stroking benefits (improved access times when not writing to the rest of the drive at the same time you need access to the first partition or partitions).
Now THAT'S funny,,,,,, :rollin:
I have a trash can. never have that problem.
