Since windows updated a few days ago (which I have no control over and have lost countless hours of work due to it) there is now either a Bug or an Utter Retarded feature turned on
If my recycle bin exceeds 14 GB of data it will delete the older files in there to bring it back to less than 14 GB, this is ridiculous,
I do a lot of video editing and often move files to the recycle bin when I have finished with that recording or render, then when my project has been completed and once I am happy with the final output I empty my recycle bin, this helps me as often I can have 50 to 200+ clips and or renders to work with on a single project I have to do this because of another great bug from an update 4+ months ago, where file listings order stops working randomly, so more recent file are not listed to the top but rather the bottom mixing the files up along with Windows Explorer.exe randomly crashing out and restarting it's self. the utter joys of the most basic things within the MS windows environment.
But every now and then I spot something wrong with my project before clearing my recycle bin and I go and restore the part(s) that I need to re do again. But Now I can't, I have just lost a very crucial recording because I deleted the final output which was a very large file and I lost about 5 files that before the latest update would have been there.
And No this is not Storage Sense as it says "We cleaned up 0 bytes of space in the past month, Last run: 19/04/24
Also my main OS drive which my video files are on, is a 1TB M.2 Drive which still has over 500GB of space available.
What the Hell Microsoft, why are you messing with the Recycle Bin, if it's not broke don't fix it.
Windows 11 has become the bane of my life recently and I'm now getting the the point of dumping Windows all together.
For the past 4+ months almost every update has change something that's important to me and I've had to change the way I work, or it's hindered me in some why.
What's going on, are you letting your newbie 'Special Needs' interns do your updates or is it just you can't be bothered in checking them before you release them.
And YES I am Very Very Annoyed as I now have to take my machine offline to take my M.2 drive to work and hopefully recover the file with a bit of software they have, meaning I'm unable to compile and render my current project for a full day as this tends to be done when I'm at work as it takes that long.
