SYMPTOMS
When you open the Recycle Bin, you may see two entries for some files.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are using the SUBST command to assign a
substitute drive letter to the root folder of a drive that contains a
Recycle folder.
STATUS
This behavior is by design. When you use the SUBST command to substitute a
drive letter for a folder that contains a Recycle folder, the Recycle Bin
is mirrored on the substituted drive. This can result in deleted files
appearing twice in the Recycle Bin.
