Module 05: Defeating Anti-forensics Tecniques / LO#02: Discuss Data Deletion and Recycle Bin Forensics / Recycle Bin in Windows
Page 444:
The storage location of Recycle Bin depends on type of OS and file system
Recycle Bin storage location on FAT file systems:
On older FAT file systems (Windows 98 and prior), it is located in Drive:\RECYCLED
Recycle Bin storage location on NTFS file systems:
On Windows 2000, NT, and XP it is located in Drive:\RECYCLER\<SID>
On Windows Vista and later versions, it is located in Drive:\$Recycle.Bin\<SID>
--> Windows 8.1
From EC Council: In Windows Vista and later versions, the deleted files are renamed by the OS using the following format: $ [...] The $R and $I files are located at C:\$Recycle.Bin\<USER SID>\
It´s supposed that Drive\RECYCLER is the answer for XP and $Recycle.Bin for vista and later versions. I suppose is correct in the context but not in the content according to the CHFI V9 Module 5 page 472
in windows 8.1 not xp
