    I deleted a file from Shared Folder on network -  \\shared\c$\abc.txt

    Instead of putting it in Recycle Bin on that remote pc, it directly deleted - i logged onto that machine(remote-desktop) and found the R-Bin was empty

    Both my local machine, and my account on the Remote machine have the
    Opt1. 'Do not move files to Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately' option UNCHECKED.
    Opt2. 'Display delete Confirmation' option CHECKED

    On Local machine,
    1. when press 'Del',          popup asks 'do you want to move file to R-Bin'
    2. when press 'Shift+del', popup asks 'do you want to delete the file'

    However, on Shared folder
    For both 'Del' and 'Shift+del',  popup asks 'do you want to delete the file'.. and then permanently deletes
    why?

    my guess is although Opt1 (above) is UnChecked for My account on the Remote machine, Shared Folders have a different setting..

    thanks

    This is normal. When you delete files from shared folders they do not go to the Recycle Bin on your computer. They are permanently deleted. You can't get them back except if there is a shadow copy.

      shouldnt they go to the R-Bin on the remote computer (where the shared folder exists)?

      No. Microsoft says:

      important for knowledge workers: the Recycle Bin does not work for files stored on network shares.

      If you are not network admin, ask network admin.

      If you are network admin, get network admin book. Read. Learn.
