xyplorer just can't delete files properly

Post by dicktatorc »

Firstly, when I use the Recycle Bin in XYplorer and invoke the Windows right-click context menu (not XYplorer's own right-click menu), I just can't delete the file.

Secondly, and most importantly, when I use the delete button in the toolbar to delete an item in the Recycle Bin, the file gets deleted, but the corresponding meta file stored in the Recycle Bin remains untouched.

After I have deleted a lot of files using XYplorer, there are many meta files with names starting with '$I' in the $RECYCLE.BIN\user-sid folder.

Are you talking about deleting items from the Recycle Bin?

yeah, from the Recycle Bin in xyplorer, not from the Recycle Bin in explorer

1) Delete from Recycle Bin via shell context menu works fine here. What happens if you just press DEL?

2) This type of dark magic is not supported in XY.

if I just press DEL, the file will be deleted, but there will leave $I* metadata file in the recycle bin intact

Did you check this box?: Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Show 64-bit context menu.

It seems that the 64-bit context menu does not work in the Recycle Bin. That's a bug. :bug: I'll fix it now.
