$Recycle.Bin? What is it and how do i not share it on homegroup?
I am sharing some of my files on my homegroup with my kids who have XBOX360's and on the XBOX's they can view a file "C:\$Recycle.Bin" and in it has stuff they can not see. I searched for the file on my PC and can not find it to delete the contents of that folder. What do i do? How do i unshare that folder? The "C"\ drive" is not shared, only selected folders. Any help please?
I know it is not a problem I just want to know where the folder/file is located in the system so i can get to it to re-delete the contents of it. Bottom line...it is showing there is porn in that folder that isnt there. My kids can see the names of the files but cant watch them cause they do not exist?

Recycle bin is usually shown on the desktop. It is not actually a folder, it is better described as a list of files marked as no longer required. When you delete the files from the recycle bin it marks the space as available to use. Although files are "moved" to the recycle Bin, it is only an expression as the files are not actually moved in any way. So to sum up, you don't need help because there is no problem :)

The recycle bin is a system folder where trash/garbage files are stored when deleted. Odds are if the Xbox can see the folder the files will have HIDDEN attributes - I am not sure why the folder is being shared as it is not subject to the usual right click and SHARING tab.
