    Where did my Recycle Bin go?

    On my usb pen drive I don't have a recycle bin. If I delete something on the pen drive it doesn't show up on my hard drive recycle bin. Does anyone know why?

    Files deleted from external drives do not pass to the recycle bin because they are not held locally and so are not covered by this recovery method.
    BTW The makers of PC Inspector provide a freeware tool to recover files from some removable media such as SD cards [Smart Recovery] dont know if it will work on USB.

    EDIT : Works on USB for some files like JPegs,BMPs,Wavs and such.PC inspector may cover for other file types.
