SYMPTOMS

When you open the Recycle Bin, you may see two entries for some files.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you are using the SUBST command to assign a substitute drive letter to the root folder of a drive that contains a Recycle folder.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. When you use the SUBST command to substitute a drive letter for a folder that contains a Recycle folder, the Recycle Bin is mirrored on the substituted drive. This can result in deleted files appearing twice in the Recycle Bin.
