Deleted files...is there a way to not have them in search results?

Post by whereditgo »

For example, I'm looking at recent new video files and delete some. They then show up with the other files with new names like "$IZ4579Y" etc. Is there a way to keep them out of my hard drive search results? Thanks

To exclude recycle bin files:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Exclude tab on the left.
  • Click Add Filter....
  • Type in $recycle.bin and click OK.
  • Click OK.
