C:Recycled ??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hallo NG!
WindowsXP/HE SP2, OfficeXP/Pro SP3, VB5E, CPU P4/2.8G, 1GB Ram
My recycle bin on the desktop is empty.
My recycle bin as seen in explorer in 'C:\Recycled' is empty.
When I use Start->Run->C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe and make a
'cd recycled' to 'C:\Recycled' and then a 'dir' I see a bunch
of files and folders that were deleted by me some time ago.
I dont see these files/folders in explorer at any place although
'Show hidden files and folders' under 'Options...' is marked.
I found the files/folders by accident when performing a filesearch
with AgentRansack.exe and so could retrieve a long time missing file.
Where are these files/folders *really* located?

Thanks Alasdair, but that means to me that the DIR-command doesnt
rely on the windows file system. How that? And AgentRansack is a
Windows search-utility (with a nice GUI).

That is not the problem. I can delete them easily from cmdbox prompt also.
But why are they shown at all? And I can use a cmd-copy to retrieve them.
Under a
GUI they are not accessible.
