Junction linked folder deleting

[Hurdet]

When i use Junction, if i delete a linked folder and empty recycle bin the folder source is also delete.
Do it is possible to delete only linked folder and mantain the folder source?

Not confirmed!
Command Prompt:

T:\Temp\Test>mklink /J TestLink .\TestFolder
Junction created for TestLink <<===>> .\TestFolder

TC8.0B25 (x64) Windows 7
<Del>

Are you sure you want to move this folder to the Recycle Bin?

[Yes]
Context menu Recycle Bin "Empty Recycle Bin":

Are you sure you want to permanently delete this folder?
TestLink

[Yes]
.\TestFolder still exists.

What is different in your case?

Uncheck "Use Explorer delete method" seems to solve in XP.
With "Use Explorer delete method" Folder still exists but files in folder deleted.

Hurdet, there is nothing new in fact that Windows XP's Explorer doesn't support junctions and deletes all their contents, so you must be careful with it. When you remove to recycle bin, Explorer moves entire folder (junction in this case) to recycle bin and deletes it when you purge bin. So, when it removes folder directly or from recycle bin, it does recursive delete since only empty folders may be removed by Windows API, and it doesn't check if folder is a reparse point.
