Hi Guys,
I've had a quick search and haven't found the answer to this, so please point me in the right direction if I've missed it somehow...
When I move files between drives with the F6 function of copy/move, even though the Recycle Bin is enabled on the source drive, when moved to the destination drive (A different physical disk), the files do not land in the recycle bin on the source drive.
Is there a way to enable the recycle bin for this function, please?
Win7 64bit
TC 8.51a
Many thanks,
Min.
Use Recycle Bin with F6 Copy/Move?

I don't know of any move function that actually deletes files (moving to recycle bin is exactly that), neither in Explorer nor TC, and I guess not in any other file manager.
And, apart from that, I don't see any advantage in doing so. If you move files, you except them to disappear from the source. If you move them to recycle bin, they still exist on the source drive/partition, so I'd call the move function "broken". What about the recycle bin's confirmation that may be disabled (IIRC it's disabled by default on Win8+)? And what about files that are too large for the recycle bin?
To be a little more helpful: You can achieve what you want by copying the files (F5) and deleting them afterwards manually (F8 or Del).
