Make a Recycle Bin on a flash drive?

Post by Wayne Carver »

Is there a way to make and configure a recycle bin on a flah drive? So that files or folders on that drive would go there instead of being permanately? This would be great for college kids and old farts too.

If you are talking about the small "memory Key's" there isn't much space on those to start with so adding a folder for deleted items would further limit the space available on the unit.

If you are going to delete something on the "key", just move it to a special folder on the hard drive.

But, on the other hand, you should not have anything on those types of drives that isn't backed up or available on another drive. Don't keep "only copy" on those types of drives.
