How do you break the recycle bin... all it is is a pseudo folder that is present across all drives. All it does it recurse every drive and look for the path driveletter:\$RECYCLE.BIN\Account_SID

    Microsoft acknowledged a bug in the June 2026 update that displays internal file names instead of real names in Recycle Bin confirmation dialogs.

    There's different levels of broken. Like a drawer that doesn't close all the way still works as a drawer, and while I would call a drawer with its bottom busted out more broken than one that just won't close, both could use some repairs.

    I'm not familiar with microsoft enough to really know what an internal file name entailed but, looking it up on other sources, it appears it made it so the files that appeared on the delete prompts were named to things like $Rxxxxx.ext which I'm not sure how could even happen. but yea the actual files in the can were named correctly, and they were deleted (or restored) as well. so its definitely a more minor bug.
