31
32         <para>The <command>vfs_recycle</command> intercepts file deletion
33         requests and moves the affected files to a temporary repository
34         rather than deleting them immediately. This gives the same effect
35         as the Recycle Bin on Windows computers. </para>
36
37         <para>The Recycle Bin will not appear in Windows Explorer
38         views of the network file system (share) nor on any mapped
39         drive. Instead, a directory called .recycle will be automatically
40         created when the first file is deleted and recycle:repository is
41         not configured. If recycle:repository is configured, the name
42         of the created directory depends on recycle:repository. Users
43         can recover files from the recycle bin. If the recycle:keeptree
44         option has been specified, deleted files will be found in a path
45         identical with that from which the file was deleted.  </para>
