"Recycled" folder.

Recently, a hidden folder appeared itself on my card.
It is named "Recycled" and as the name says, anything I delete goes to it.
I delete the folder so I can access the memory being taken, but when I delete anything new the folder comes back.
How do I stop this from happening, and just have it where when I delete stuff it's gone instantly?
:(

that is part of windows - the recycle bin on the desktop

shift + delete will bypass it

Should it appear on MicroSD?
I know if it appear on HDD, it's fine

but if it on a SD.....maybe virus???

no, it appearing is perfectly normal,it appears on any drive with deleted data.

it is usually visible because the 'hide protected operating system files' setting is turned off

Whenever I delete something on my miniSD card, it deletes it permanently.  I have protected OS files and hidden files visible, so I should be able to see any folders that get created.  I'm not sure why it acts one way for you and another for me.

This happens to me on my 2gig microSD card. Just leave it and delete the files from it.

This didn't happen until a few days ago. :(
I've reformatted twice and it always came back.

I can delete files from it from DSorganize.. but it's a hassle I don't want.
I miss not having a recycle bin...  :'(
