My camera as suddenly developed a "recycled" folder and it will not let me
delete it. It just takes up space on my memory card. The closest I have
come to emptying it is to delete the files with the same name listed on my C
drive Recycle bin. But the recyled folder remains, as does the INFO2 and
Thumbs.db files. I would rather that deleted files go to the C recycle bin
rather than a folder on the camera. Cam I get rid of the recycle bin on the
camera? (I can't check the box "do not move files to the recycled bin" on
the camera drive -- it is grayed out). Should I se;ect "configure drives
independently"?

It's worse than I thought: I just noticed that the pictures I deleted from
my camera's memory card are not only in the camera's recycled folder -- they
are in the recylced folders of my C drive and all removable devices connected
to my computer!

Yes, select configure drives independently.

Does your camera have an option to format the memory card? If so, that
should do the trick.
