How to fix Windows 7 always delete file permanently
I am using a laptop from my company, installed with Windows 7. I found that I cannot delete the files to Recycle Bin. The files will always deleted permanently without going to the Recycle Bin.
I am sure that the setting of the Recycle Bin is not "Remove files immediately when deleted".
Then, I checked that, deleting files work fine in other drives, but only C: does not work. Besides that, C:$RECYCLE.BIN is missing, but D: and E: have the $RECYCLE.BIN. I think that is why there is no problem other drives to use Recycle Bin.
Please help.

Check to make sure the custom size of the recycle bin is large enough and display confirmation is checked under the recycle bin properties

I would disable and re-enable the Recycle Bin. If that doesn't work, it's possible you have a group policy that is forcing the behaviour you describe (though I'd expect it not to have any Recycle Bin settings at all).

In this thread, one person "fixed" his recycle bin problem by this funny way :
Ok, what I've done (accidentally, I
was working on something else) is
booting the computer in safe mode and
deleting something. Somehow the
recycle bin repaired itself.
Just make sure first in Properties of the recycle bin that enough disk space is allocated for the C drive.

Assuming your recycle bin is configured properly, it sounds like you're running into normal behavior. (It's not clear, because you don't indicate what you're deleting.) Be aware, as per KB320031, the following deletion actions do not send files to the Recycle Bin, whether or not the Recycle Bin is active:
- Deletions from removable disks (CD-RWs, floppy disks, Zip drives, and other removable disks).
- Deletions from remote shares.
- Deletions from compressed (zipped) folders.
- Deletions at the command line.

If a file is located on a networked drive and it will be permanently deleted because there is no recycle bin for network drives. If you delete the same file from a Library, it will go to the recycling bin on the same drive.

Right click recycle bin.
Select "Properties".
In Settings for selected location you can choose between:
1-The storage size of the recycle bin.
-or select-
2-"Don't move files to recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted".
The recycle bin is a tool to make sure you don't accidentally delete what you need for whatever...So you can select to display a deletion confirmation dialog if you tend to fudge things up sometimes like so many people do, like I do.

Another working solution:
- Open the drive that has the problem.
- Open Folder Options and show hidden files and also hidden system files.
- You will see a folder named $RECYCLE.BIN and if you tried to open it you'll find it corrupted.
- Delete the mentioned folder and the problem is solved!

@Scott If so, then a checkdsk would help cure corrupted files, also try sfc /scannow

if you find the solution for this type of problem then login in system by administrator account and re-configure the existing currupted profile like permanently delete file from your current login ID.

You would need to clarify what you mean and provide more details for this answer to be useful, particularly for "re-configure the existing currupted profile".

Right click recycle bin.
Select "Properties".
In Settings for selected location you can choose between:
1-The storage size of the recycle bin.
-or select-
2-"Don't move files to recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted".
The recycle bin is a tool to make sure you don't accidentally delete what you need for whatever...So you can select to display a deletion confirmation dialog if you tend to fudge things up sometimes like so many people do, like I do.

Another working solution:
- Open the drive that has the problem.
- Open Folder Options and show hidden files and also hidden system files.
- You will see a folder named $RECYCLE.BIN and if you tried to open it you'll find it corrupted.
- Delete the mentioned folder and the problem is solved!

But in this case the OP says thatC:$Recycle.Bindoesn’t exist.

@Scott If so, then a checkdsk would help cure corrupted files, also try sfc /scannow

if you find the solution for this type of problem then login in system by administrator account and re-configure the existing currupted profile like permanently delete file from your current login ID.

Try making the $RECYCLE.BIN again. :) idk

Tried, not work. The folder does not work as real Recycle Bin, no function at all.

Check to make sure the custom size of the recycle bin is large enough and display confirmation is checked under the recycle bin properties

I checked. The size of my C: drive Recycle Bin setting is 8422MB

I would disable and re-enable the Recycle Bin. If that doesn't work, it's possible you have a group policy that is forcing the behaviour you describe (though I'd expect it not to have any Recycle Bin settings at all).
