Not possible to Save Recycle Bin on CD ?

[Parangles]

I just downloaded Googles Picassa program and deleted a 1/2 Gig of junk photos.Thought I'd save them on a CD before emptying it but, am I nuts ? I can't find the Recycle Bin as a Folder/file in Windows or elsewhere on the harddrive. Its not even listed as a Desktop item. Theres ' recycled' but its
only a small portion of the contents of the bin. (Win98SE)
Whats up ?

How many gigs is the hard drive and what percentage are you allowing? You may have overfilled the bin and what you see is what you get.

If you see more in the bin than in that folder, you may have to restore the bin to burn your files.

Thanks glc - Total drive capacity is 9.3 Gb. Total sent to the Bin was 230 Mb.
Showing as in there, is 186 Mb. I'll restore it little by little and not via 'select all'
which I fear might cause an overload.
For the future, what is the ratio of bin size to drive size ?
Thanks again.

Default is 10% but it can be changed. Right click on the bin and look at the properties.
