Drivepool recycle bin, constant error when windows loads

[jamieuk147]

Hi, I keep getting this error on my main drivepool hard drive. 

I'm unsure how to fix. There is data I would like to delete off the drive as running out of space, but unsure if it will delete correctly and lower my storage volume.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks 😊 👍

Hi, to delete the Recycle Bin on the pool so Window can recreate it, you can try the following from a command prompt run as an Administrator:

net stop "stablebit drivepool service"
rmdir /q /s P:\$RECYCLE.BIN
net start "stablebit drivepool service"

Where P is the drive letter of the pool.

If that doesn't work, then replace the middle line with lines consisting of:

rmdir /q /s X:\PoolPart.guid\$RECYCLE.BIN

Where X is the letter of each drive that is in the pool and PoolPart.guid is the hidden poolpart folder on that drive used by DrivePool (protip: once you've typed up to the full stop hit the tab key and it should fill out the rest), so if you had five disks in the pool you'd end up with five lines of rmdir.

If that doesn't work, let us know what it had trouble with!
