I am receiving a Recycle Bin Corrupted error for my DrivePool and I recently had the same issue on a few individual drives in an external enclosure. When I replied "Yes" to allow Windows to correct the errors on the external drives which were in a MediaSonic enclosure, it effectively deleted all of the files and I was not able to recover.
Since this happened a few days ago, I am reluctant to allow Windows to repair the DrivePool Recycle Bin and I replied "No" for the moment. I am reaching out to this audience for any advice on this issue. The computer has been operating essentially "untouched" for many years and was originally a Windows 7 machine but has been on Windows 10 since at least 2016. Today, I performed a clean install of Windows 10 pro 64bit 20H2 and followed the instructions from Drashna in the wiki Q5510455 to set the permissions. Since this was a clean install, all permissions were set correctly by Microsoft and I simply applied them to the child files and folders. I received two warnings when applying security settings to the child components that may be related. There are no errors recorded in Computer Management log other than a DistributedCOM warning. I attached screen captures of all errors and warnings.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated to avoid any data loss.
