Default Difference between "Recycler" and "recycled" folder? Deleteable when Recycle Bin NOT used for this partition ?

On my partition D I found two hidden folder:

"Recycler" and "recycled"

Pay attention to the two different spellings.

What are the differences ?

Can I delete both when I don't use "Recycle Bin" for this partition but delete all files directly?

Or must at least one (which?) exist even as an empty hidden folder ?

Eugen

No, you can't delete the "Recycler" folder. Windows won't let you.

I don't know what the 'recycled" folder is. Perhaps another program created
it ??

"Recycler" applies to NTFS partitions
"Recycled" applies to FAT(32) partitions

The "Recycled" folder might be a left-over after converting the partition
to NTFS. If this scenario applies, the "Recycled" folder can be deleted.
The "Recycler" folder will reappear anyway regardless how you delete your
files.
