What is the C:/RECYCLER file for?
I have a problem with some files that I’ve downloaded from a P2P network. They keep on leaving duplicates of a song that I’ve downloaded and when I click on them they don’t play. The file path says C:/RECYCLER/NPROTECT/(somenumbers).mp3.
When I went to this location, there were a bunch of files that were encoded and I look and see that the attributes of the NPROTECT file say “Hidden”. Is this why I cannot delete the faulty mp3s? Thanks.
This folder is part of Norton antivirus. You can limit the size of this file by cutting back on the amount of restore points you create. When you uninstall Norton you can delete this folder. As to the encoded files they are probably backups of files you’ve been downloading.
