Microsoft Windows Server 2012 + Second Copy + Recycle Bin

When using Center Systems Second Copy on Microsoft Windows Server 2012, you may encounter the error message: "The Recycle Bin on [Drive Letter]:\ is corrupted.  Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?"  When you click Yes, the dialog box only reappears.  To resolve this issue:
  1. Open an Elevated Command Prompt.

  2. Type: rd /s /q [Drive Letter]:\$Recycle.bin

  3. The Recycle Bin for that Drive Letter is then deleted.  Open Second Copy.

  4. Click Edit.

  5. Click Options.

  6. Click the Copy tab.

  7. Uncheck "Move deleted files to Recycle Bin."

  8. Click OK.
