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!

How do I recover a file of images I removed from LR 4.3 that is not found in my desktop recycle bin?

CUP 5.3 SP9 Forwarded requests not moving to next stage
CUP 5.3 sp9 - The administrator forwarded a request (first stage mgr approval) to another person (the forward return box was checked). The person that the request was forwarded to got the message (no content in the email, just a link) and was able to approve. The original person also got an email with a link, and was able to see that the request was approved.
The request is stuck in the mgr approval stage, it did not move out of the original person's inbox. the audit trail is below:
1. Request 46 submitted by WZ8Y84 on 4/30/2010 <time>
2. Forwarded by Administrator on 04/30/2010 <time> on behalf of FZ62V1 to forward approver RZW8G8 with return
3. Request approved by RZW8G8 on behalf of FZ62V1 on 04/30/2010 <time>
When you look at the request, it is still in the original approver stage, was not moved to the next stage. Any ideas on why it works this way?Jack,
The audit log clearly explains why.
2. Forwarded by Administrator on 04/30/2010 <time> on behalf of FZ62V1 to forward approver RZW8G8 with return
When you forward a request, you need to choose 'Forward with Return' and 'Forward with No Return'. In this case, the approver selected 'Forward with Return' so the request will get approved but will come back to the original approver who forwarded the request.

I ran into an odd issue with my iPad that, until now, has been fine.
I tried to sync two rented movies. Both moved over (but it just repeated the "cover image" for both movies). Anyway, the real problem came when I tried to change the movies on the iPad by moving over some new ones.
When going through the selection process, it shows how much space it will take on the iPad (normal). BUT, in the middle of the sync, it drops back down - never moving over the items.
I did a full restore but no effect (actually now the movies that were on the iPad will not move over).
Format is fine. I have played them on the iPad before.
**Update** not limited to movies. No Music or Music Videos will move over as well.
Thoughts?
Message was edited by: FredrrrOk, I think I figured it out (for me anyway).
It looks like, for whatever reason, the external hard drive dropped off the radar (that is where I keep movies, music, etc).
The odd part is that there is no error msg from itunes during the sync...ie "We could not find..."
I made sure the external drive was back online and the sync went as normal. -
I've read this somewhere before but the things is, I didn't know this when I first got itunes match and didn't delete the songs and re-download them from the cloud. I just thought it was done so I synced all of my devices. If I go ahead and delete them all now and re-download will all of my songs be the match high quality versions now? If so, do I delete all my music from my devices as well and re-download or will it automatically change the songs on there to the high quality by simply synching them? ..Or did I screw everything up by not downloading and synching from the start?
Please help, thanks!Hi,
Your main computer will have your original tracks. All your synced devices will have the matched/uploaded versions.
To get the benefit of the upgraded tracks on your main library, you need to delete the original and then download the matched version. You don't need to do anything with uploaded songs.
Ps make sure you have a backup of your original songs.

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?
ThanksHi,
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

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 itemI 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.

Powershell v2 and Sharepoint 2007 - Empty huge recycle bin - 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)
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

After pressing Enter after adding the above, I then entered the below into Powershell:
Remove-SPSiteSecondStageRecycleBin -url http://ansafile
This seemed to do something, but not what I needed it to do, ie delete the recycle bin for the whole sharepoint installation. 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
NazHi, 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:

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 advanceNo, 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? -
Powershell "RunAs" causing recycle bin issues. Would like some input please.
I developed a script to assist our UserAdmins with creation of AD user accounts and create home folders on the server shares. I am encountering an issue with the recycle bin becoming corrupt when the user first logs in. This script must be run
with an elevated account with permissions to the shares. I also noted a change in the way the recycle bin is displayed in the share.
The home folder is created using:
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $directory
If I log into my machine as my elevated account and run powershell/powershell_ise, all is well. The recycle bin displays as "Recycle Bin" with the correct icon image
However, if I log into my machine with my non-elevated account and select "Run as a different user" for Powershell or Powershell_ISE and use my same elevated account from above the users receive "corrupt" recycle bin errors when logging
in or viewing the recycle bin properties. Additionally, recycle bin is now listed as "$Recyle.Bin" and is using a folder icon. This issue is resolved by removing the users AD account from the home folder permissions and re-adding it with
identical permissions.
I see this behavior using Win8.1 x64 as well as Win7 x64 Enterprise.
On another somewhat relevant topic, when launching Powershell_ISE with "Run as a different user" it often freezes and must be forcibly closed. Could be relevant, could be coincidence.
I appreciate any input you may have regarding this issue.
Thanks,
JeffI'm trying not to come off as combative, but I feel you are misunderstanding or I am not being clear. The recycle bin is auto-created when the user first logs into the machine as is are the sub folders to the parent folder. All of the desktop.ini files,
recycle bin folders and various other user profile objects are created upon first login by that user inside of the folder created in the PowerShell script. Prior to this the user admins were manually creating the same parent folder with their elevated
accounts. Given the isolated conditions in which it works vs when it doesn't there is no indication that permissions are causing this issue.
I'll try to explain why the issue, I believe, lies with PowerShell.
1) Launch a PowerShell session from the current logged in elevated account
2) Run the script
3) Users home folder is created
4) Upon user logging in for the first time the user profile objects are created in the home folder on the share
5) No issues with recycle bin
vs - from the same machine, same script
1) Launch a PowerShell session with "Run as different user" context using the same account from above
2) Run the script
3) users home folder is created
4) Upon user logging in for the first time the user profile objects are created in the home folder on the share
5) Recycle bin is corrupt and icon is wrong
The only thing that changes between these 2 scenarios is the way in which PowerShell is run.
It's the same computer, the same test user account, the same share, same GPOs and AppSense policies.
Scenario 1 is run from elevated account logged into local machine
Scenario 2 is run from non-elevated account with "Run as different user" context using the elevated account
I know I'm sounding like a broken record but it doesn't make sense AppSense or GPO or even folder permission would cause an issue when the folder is being created using the same account in both situations. -
Accessing the Recycle Bin via Windows Explorer
I run a no-icon desktop and have noticed in the RC that I can not seem to access the Recycle Bin via Windows Explorer as has previously been the case. Thus making it, in my experience so far, impossible to empty the Recycle Bin without turning on Desktop Icons to do it, and then turning them off again when finished.
I have found a work-around that is quite simple to setup, add a Favourates Shortcut to Windows Explorer, but I wondering with there is a setting somewhere now that needs activating/deactivating to have Windows Explorer show the Recycle Bin as one the the items in the Navigation Panel under Computer?When the Recycle Bin is visible on the Desktop, left-click and drag the icon image to the TaskBar near the Start button. If you have Aero, you'll see a message "Pin to Windows Explorer".
Then open Windows Explorer and you'll see the Recycle Bin on the DeskTop from the left column.
Now you can opt to not display the Desktop Icon. Contol Panel>Appearance and Personalization> Personalization and select >Change Desktop Icons>Uncheck Recycle Bin.
Work for you?
After doing the above, I then opened Windows Explorer, and used the organize tab. I then selected "the show all folders" option, selected ok. The Recycle Bin now appears in the left Navigation Pane and the Icon is not visble on the desktop. I believe it is because I pinned it to win explorer by dragging it to the taskbar that it appears there. -
Delete from HD bypassing recycle bin
LR v1.1 & Vista.
Files deleted using LR's delete from HD are not being placed in the recycle bin but instead disappearing completely? Is this the designed behavior?
If so, I don't find this to be desirable.
If it isn't the designed behavior is it a bug?>>Are you sure you told Lightroom to remove the files as apposed to simply taking them out of the cataloge?
Yes.
>>Can you check in the folders where they started and confirm they aren't there?
They are not located in the original folder on the HD.
Update: Go figure, after asking for help it I managed to find the files in the recycle bin. Honestly, I didn't find them there yesterday. Oh well. Thanks for the help.
**However**, while I have your ear... :)
Empty folders that are deleted in LR are not actually deleted from the HD--only from the catalog. Is this the designed behavior? If so, is there a way to change it? -
7.7 deletes immediately, no Recycle Bin
Has anyone figured out how to get back the old behavior of iTunes when it would move cleared files to the Recycle Bin? Now it truly deletes them! The iTunes Music folder is on a local disk drive, and the Recycle Bin is operational, so this is a problem with 7.7, not Windows. The old +Move to Recycle Bin+ button now says Delete.
Hi,
Have you check your recycle bin settings?
1. Right-click the Recycle Bin, and then click Properties.
2. In the Recycle Bin Properties dialog box, make sure Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted checkbox was unchecked.
3. Click OK.
