How to exclude $Recycle.*

I try to exclude the windows recycle folders, but the exclude pattern "$Recycle.*" doesn't work. What should be tried?

  • Why did it not work for you?  I tested and it worked without any problem.
  • these are my patterns
    on c:
    $Recycle.* pagefile.sys swapfile.sys /Temp
    on d:
    SkyDrive $Recycle.*

    and this is from the log:

    tell me what I shout try to avoid uploading the $RECYCLE.BIN :-)
  • Try '$RECYCLE.BIN'.  It is case-sensitive.
  • This could explain some other issues. uncommon for a windows program to require case sensitive input :-)
