This gives the same effect 5 as the Recycle Bin on Windows computers. </p><p>The Recycle Bin will not appear in Windows Explorer 6 views of the network file system (share) nor on any mapped 7 drive. Instead, a directory called .recycle will be automatically 8 created when the first file is deleted and recycle:repository is 9 not configured. If recycle:repository is configured, the name 10 of the created directory depends on recycle:repository. Users 11 can recover files from the recycle bin. If the recycle:keeptree 12 option has been specified, deleted files will be found in a path 13 identical with that from which the file was deleted. </p><p>This module is stackable.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id259546"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">recycle:repository = PATH</span></dt><dd><p>Path of the directory where deleted files should be moved. 14 </p><p>If this option is not set, the default path .recycle 15 is used. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">recycle:directory_mode = MODE</span></dt><dd><p>Set MODE to the octal mode the recycle repository 16 should be created with.
