An end user deleted a file and then realized it was still needed. Going to the recycle bin to recover the file he noticed that the PDF file wasn't there. Not only that he noticed that the recycle bin was not collecting any of his deleted documents.
I checked the recycle bin settings and they are as they should be. I see no hard drive corruption or log errors.

2023-06-21T21:24:21.3333333+00:00 I did check that setting and "Don't move files to the Recycle Bin" is not selected. I noted the size of the Recycle bin and it seemed large enough. I'll verify that later tonight.
