OE can make a copy of the files/folders before starting the compact process.
to be sure this is the case.
empty recycle, run OE compact , then check recycle bin again.

I just looked at my Desktop and my Trash has all the files and folders back
in it, again. I hit Restore yesterday, and those in there now are dated
today. What gives, I've run nothing.

When I delete my Deleted Folder, or other messages, or News posts, I do it
offline, and then I also Compress All Folders, off line. My AVG loaded
updates, but did not scan yet, and its not programmed to scan outgoing
emails.

At this point, I'm afraid to budge.

Thank you x 12~
