Indentify deleted (recycle bin) items in SP10/13

I'm trying to find all documents on a sharepoint server, including the ones that are in the recycle bins.
At the moment I'm using the following to find all items in the document libraries
foreach (SPWebApplication app in SPWebService.ContentService.WebApplications) {
foreach (SPSite site in app.Sites) {
foreach (SPWeb web in site.AllWebs) {
foreach (SPList list in web.Lists) {
if (list is SPDocumentLibrary) {
foreach (SPListItem item in list.Items) ...
and accordingly for finding all items in the recycle bins:
foreach (SPWebApplication app in SPWebService.ContentService.WebApplications) {
foreach (SPSite site in app.Sites) {
foreach (SPWeb web in site.AllWebs) {
SPRecycleBinItemCollection recycleBinItems = web.RecycleBin;
foreach (SPRecycleBinItem recycleItem in recycleBinItems)
This gives me all the documents, BUT since a recycle item has another ID/GUID then a list item I am unable to identify the recycle bin items since identifying them with their title is not enough for me.
Is there any way to access their previous GUID without restoring them or searching them differently to get the GUID directly?

There is such property as LeafName in SPRecycleBinItem, which is the same as earlier
Id in SPListItem for files (not for folders). If SPListItem was a file, then its LeafName would be "id" + "_.000" after deleting; If SPListItem was a folder, then its LeafName would be earlier Name of SPListItem.

MOSS 2007 - Delete recycle bin for 10 personal sites - HOW???

Hi all
I need to delete the First and Second stage Recycle bin for all of our personal sites, as the total size of these has somehow exceeded 140GB.
I am however stuck as to how to do this. I have tried lots of Powershell scripts to get this done, but nothing has worked. I also tried to just switch off the Recycle Bin but this operation just times out, as the Bin is too large now for this to work.
My most recent Powershell script that I tried is the only one that didnt throw any errors and seemed to do something for about 6 seconds, but checking the recycle bin for the site I tried it against shows that it is still full:
param([string]$Url, [switch]$help)

After pressing Enter after adding the above, I then entered the below into Powershell:

This seemed to do something, but not what I needed it to do, ie delete the recycle bin for the whole sharepoint insstallation. ANSAFILE is the internal name of the Sharepoint site. Also, I am using Powershell v2, in an ISE window. My server is running Windows
Server 2008 Std x64 edition. Sharepoint version is 12.0.0.6565
Hopefully someone can help, as I have never used Powershell before, and had to take over the Sharepoint which I have never done before either, and its a bit of a struggle
Thanks to all

Items not moved to Second Stage Recycle Bin

Hello,
Trying to do some digging into SharePoint 2010 Recycle Bin.
I've noticed that although items, when deleted, are being moved to the First Stage Recycle Bin, if they are deleted from that location they do not seem to be moved into the Second Stage Recycle Bin.
I think I am correct in saying that in order for items to be purged from any recycle bins or moved from First Stage to Second Stage the Recycle Bin Timer Job needs to run for that particular Site Collection.
Although I have manually run this job, and it returns a success message, the items still don't appear in the 2nd Stage Recycle Bin.
What I have noticed though is when I run this Timer Job it only reports as running on the Application Server and then twice on one of the Web Servers. The other Web Server isn't mentioned in the Time Job History at all. I'm not sure whether this is the key
to this issue but would appreciate any advice...........

Solved it! And the answer is pretty stupid.
Basically when you browse to the Second Stage Recycle Bin you go to a URL ending in
/_layouts/AdminRecycleBin.aspx
This is actually the "roll up" view of the First Stage Recycle Bin. If you have the left hand navigation enabled it's listed as "End user Recycle Bin items"
If you change the URL to:
/_layouts/AdminRecycleBin.aspx?View=2
Then this is the Second Stage Recycle bin. Again if you have the left hand navigation enabled it's listed as "Deleted from end user Recycle Bin"
Because the template I had applied to this site has removed the left hand navigation I didn't realise which bin I was really looking at. Once I had amended the URL all the items were there in the Second Stage Bin.
I'm still a little confused about the Recycle Bin Timer Job as this seems to run on different servers in the farm depending on which Web Application's Time Job you are running.
Hope all my testing helps someone!

Files deleted permanently, not showing up in Recycle Bin

Good day. We have quite an interesting problem at my workplace. Few computers started showing this symptoms, files are not deleted to recycle bin, but instead deleted permanently. I'll try to detail the problem as much as possible and include all the solutions
I've (and my colleagues) tried so far:
Recycle bin properties are not the problem. We have a Domain structure and there is a policy that user's desktop files are stored on the D disk instead of System C. When I try to delete a file from the user's folder (Start Menu > User), files is deleted
appropriately, to the recycle bin, from any other location it's deleted permanently. When I log in with my username, everything works fine (probably because our (IT Support) policy does not store desktop files on D drive). I've tried the "RD /S
/Q C:\$Recycle.bin" command on both C and D drives and it did not help. When a file is deleted from user's folder, for some reason it's stored on both C and D drive recycle bin folders. There
is no Malware/Malicious Software/Viruses on these computers.
This is the most information I can provide for now. If any further details are needed, please specify them.
Thank you in advance

No, files/folders are not huge at all.
$Recycle.Bin does indeed exist on D drive, but running RD
/S /Q C:\$Recycle.bin command
on D drive deletes $Recycle.Bin folder but it does not come back like on C drive. I really
doubt malware is the cause, I scanned few PC-s with Malware Bytes and some other programs too and they did not return any results.
Our administrators found out that deleting the partition D and then creating it solves the problem, but that'ss impossible to do on all the computers, because there
is quite a lot of them to say the least. Could there be any workaround other than deleting partition?

Hi, I just tried the following Powershell script:
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell
$WebApp=get-spwebapplication "http://ansafile"
foreach ($SPSite in $webApp.Sites)
#get the collection of webs
foreach($SPWeb in $SPSite.AllWebs)
#Empty the 1st Stage Recycle bin items PERMENANTLY
#$SPWeb.RecycleBin.DeleteAll();
#Send the 1st Stage Recycle bin items to 2nd Stage
$SPWeb.RecycleBin.MoveAllToSecondStage();
write-host "End-User Recycle Bin Items Deleted for:"
write-host $SPWeb.title ":" $SPWeb.URL "`n"
#Empty SharePoint site collection recycle bin (Second Stage Recycle bin) or Admin Recycle bin
#$SPSite.RecycleBin.DeleteAll();
#write-host "Administrator Recycle bin Items Deleted for:" $SPSite.RootWeb.title "`n"
However, this results in the following error:

Deleted items not going to recycle bin.

Whenever I delete something from my iTunes library, I get the popup asking if I want to move it to the recycle bin or leave the file on the computer, and I always click on the button to move it to the recycle bin.
And it never does. It just leaves everything in the hard drive.
Since I watch a daily vlog as a video podcast, this can add up to some serious hard drive space wasted in short order.
I've drilled down to the folder for that in my iTunes folder, and sure enough there was the last episode I had just removed.
It'll be a major pain to sort through and delete the items I've removed, but not the ones I'm saving, and am wondering if there is a way to fix iTunes to work properly, like it did on my old Mac, rather than having to navigate my way through the iTunes folder every time I don't want to save something I've just played the one time I downloaded it for.

Hello klep:
I have seen this before but, of course, I do not remember the solution.
Try a couple of things:
Run permission repair.
Restart your computer (if you have not already done so).
Trash the finder preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart.

Recycle bin to show all deleted items on the site collection for specific user group

hi there, is there any way where a certain sharepoint group (i.e. site collection members) to view and restore deleted items on theentire collection, without giving them site collection rights orgive them more rights than necessary? we wanted to create
aSP group that has the permission to restore deleted items and give them to selected users so that our users won't have to contact us when they want to restore a deleted item

I don't believe you can. If an item get's deleted it should go to the first recycle bin @ /_layouts/15/RecycleBin.aspx
The Recycle Bin gives a site collection administrator
greater control when users delete files, versions of files, list items, libraries, lists, and folders from a SharePoint site by providing a second stage safety net before an item is permanently deleted from a site. When a user deletes an item from the Recycle
Bin, the item is sent to a second stage Recycle Bin (also known as the Site Collection Recycle Bin) that the site collection administrator manages. This article focuses on how a site collection administrator can manage the Recycle Bin for a site collection.

On deleting an item "Name" column of recycle bin is updating with data in one of the custom column instead of title field in SP 2013 Custom list

On deleting an item, "Name" column of recycle bin is updating with data in one of the custom column instead of title field in SP 2013 Custom list.
Thanks, Chinnu

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update title field in recycle bin with other field value of the item.
We can use the ItemDeleting Event Receiver to achieve it.
While item is deleting, replace title field value with other field value using ItemDeleting event receiver, then in the recycle bin, the title value will replace with other field value.
However, there is an issue while restore the item from the recycle bin, the item title would be replaced.
As an workaround, we can create a helper field in the list to store the title field value while deleting, then replace back while restoring using
ItemAdded Event Receiver.
I have made a simple code demo below to achieve this scenario, it works like a charm(the
Test2 field is the helper field, you can hide it in the list), you can refer to it.
public override void ItemDeleting(SPItemEventProperties properties)
properties.ListItem["Test2"]=properties.ListItem["Title"];
properties.ListItem["Title"]=properties.ListItem["Test1"];
properties.ListItem.Update();
base.ItemDeleting(properties);
/// <summary>
/// An item was added.
/// </summary>
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
properties.ListItem["Title"] = properties.ListItem["Test2"];
properties.ListItem.Update();
Thanks & Regards,

Are deleted items held in a 'recycle bin'?

After deleting emails, phone history, or text messages from the Tour - are the deleted messages held anywhere else on the device (i.e. recycle bin)?

Nope. Deleted it is deleted.

Items dissapear from Recycle Bin

Hi, currently I'm facing a problem in my farm, I've detected that items which are sent to first stage Recycle bin dissapears from Recycle bin and farm at some time. These items are not being stored the number of days that has
been configured in CA (30 days by default). I have checked the configuration of the farm and I see that all is correct, also I checked the size of the Recycle Bin in order to revise if these could be the problem, but no lucky.
I checked the timer job, but this it was configured in order to clean the files on Sudany, and I detected that files that wew in Recycle Bin were deleted on Friday.
Anyone has any clue about this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that that Items disappeared from Recycle Bin.
If a deleted document does not fit in the second stage recycle bin, it skips that stage and SharePoint automatically deletes it. It happens if the size of the document is bigger than the specified second stage recycle bin storage space size.
If you try to find an item in the recycle bin and fail to locate it then you need to verify the following :
The contents in the      recycle bin are driven by the access control. The user who has deleted the      content will be able to see the content in the recycle bin. Other users
will not be able to see the items in the recycle bin.
If you have deleted a      top level item like a folder or a list, and try to find a document available      at an inner location, then the item will not be viewable. By default the
Recycle bin shows the top level content and does not have the capability      to show the items in a tree structure or drill down mode.
The contents in the      recycle bin contains only the items within the site. A deleted site is      outside the scope of the Recycle bin and is not available for deletion.
The recycle bin contains      the items for a predefined period which can be set from the Web      Application –> General Settings. if the thresh hold is crossed, the      item
is deleted permanently.
In addition, Recycle Bin cannot remove items automatically, someone should have deleted them.
You can create an Event Receiver to response only when an item is being deleted or an item has been deleted, and then log the user who delete the post and the time he delete the post. Please refer to
Creating SharePoint 2010 Event Receivers in Visual Studio 2010

How can I send deleted emails to the recycle bin vs just deleting them with my eamail system?

I have a program that when I empty the recycle bin, it also wipes the allocated space to delete the files totally from the hard cleans the hard disk and gives me space. Space that I need. I get a lot of emails that are large. I don't know if deleting them with "yahoo" opens up space. But using this program with items in the recycle bin will. I have Windows 7 on one computer and windows xp on the other. I need to clean up both computers the best I can so there is space for me to install other items that are rather large sized. Please help. Thank you.

Are you talking about files from webmail? If you clear the browser cache, does that not free up some space?

My recycle bin isn't working, files are "permanently deleted" bypassing recycle bin

Hi... I have a Dell Laptop which is running Windows 7. Whenever i try to delete something, the dialogue box asks "would you like to permanently delete this file?" and seems to totally bypass the recycle bin.
I tried right clicking the recycle bin icon to change properties. The options for "Custom size" and "Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted" are UNCHECKED but are also both greyed out and cannot be changed!
"Display delete confirmation dialog" is not grayed out, and is checked.
I tried to fix the Recycle bin settings from command prompt by running : rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin. It didnt help
I am deleting files from the local drive.
I have tried creating a
new user account but the issue was not fixed. The laptop is in a domain. The above issue doesn't occur in safe mode. I tried to find out if a service or startup item is causing this but was not able to locate any. I have ran SFC scannow
and checkdisk, it didn't help.
There is no group policy which is affecting this.
Is there any fix for this issue??

Check for a key called "NoRecycleFiles" in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
If present, try setting the value to 0. Alternatively, delete it.

I moved itunes file to external hard drive and want to move the file on my pc to recycle bin. When I move i get an error message that it cannot delete ituneshelper.dll access is denied. Can I move that file to the recycle bin?

I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.

Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.
