Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a client computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • You redirect the Recycle Bin on the computer to a storage location in a network by using a Distributed File System (DFS) link.
  • On the client computer, you delete some files in the storage location that are pointed to by another DFS link.
In this scenario, the files are deleted permanently instead of being moved to the Recycle Bin.
