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.

'they do not go to the Recycle Bin on your computer' -
shouldnt they go to the R-Bin on the remote computer (where the shared folder exists)?
how to create a shadow copy ?

No. Microsoft says:
important for knowledge workers: the Recycle Bin does not work for files stored on network shares.
how to create a shadow copy ?
If you are not network admin, ask network admin.
If you are network admin, get network admin book. Read. Learn.
