Do you have a program that recovers deleted files? It may do this by saving
deleted files to its own 'Recycle bin'.

How often do you compact a folder or folders?

Windows XP and IE 6. I delete everything from the Deleted folder several
times a day but frequently when i reopen that folder after it has been
emptied many messages come back. Some have been deleted several days ago,
The Sent folder and even the Recycle Bin act the same. Does anyone have a
solution?
