I have a FAT32 MicroSD card, where my device creates a folder named '$Recycle.Bin' in the root, with hidden+system attributes set, but Windows doesn't recognize it as a real recycle bin (with the correct icon, etc.).

How can I trick Windows into seeing the folder as genuine bin?

I am writing firmware for the device (an ARM datalogger), that has to create the folder using the FATFS library in C. I could ask for example code, but I can write the code myself if someone can point me in the correct direction. All forms of the answer are welcome.

  • Without the content you provided in comments, I don't see how anyone would have been sure you were asking a programming question. I think the question was incomplete without your comment, and may still need improvement regarding how what you have tried thus far. – New Alexandria Apr 26 '15 at 16:57
  • AFAIK, Windows does not support Recycle Bins on removable media, like SD cards. Only on HDDs, even external ones. – Remy Lebeau Apr 26 '15 at 17:41
