I have my Windows desktop duplicating the items on my Mac desktop. However, when I delete an item from the Windows desktop it disappears. It does not end up in either the Windows or Mac recycle bin. Is this a bug or by design?
SYMPTOMS When my Windows Virtual Machine starts I constantly can see that my Mac OS Trash shows some deleted files, but it is empty, and Windows Recycle Bin is also empty When Windows Virtual Machine is stopped , Mac OS Trash is empty. RESOLUTION Please delete folder C:\.Trash in Virtual Machine. If you cannot see this folder please follow steps bellow Open My Computer-Tools -Folder Options-View tab Select - Show hidden files and folders Clear - Hide protecting operating system files(Recommended) Click OK twice for now you should see that folders on C: NOTE If you still cannot see it, please check that you can see boot.ini file and pagefile.sys, if you cannot see them also, it means that VM is infected, most probably this is amvo virus or variants Reinstall Parallels Tools
