    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
