USB Recycle Bin For Flash Drives

Written by Richard Blanchard on February 1st, 2010. Posted in USB Tutorials

iBin is a portable application designed for USB stick so users can restore files which have been accidentally deleted.  Since Windows does not redirect a deleted file off the OS into the Recycle Bin, once a user clicks delete, it’s gone forever [well unless you use restore tools to get it back], but iBin resolves that problem.

iBin puts your deleted files in a container on the USB drive itself and sits quietly until your custom flash drive gets to capacity, then you’ll need to do a bit of house cleaning.

iBin includes a collection of management features to set the preferences of the iBin.  Items such as confirmation of where to put the “deleted” file, iBin size, how to erase and when to dump the iBin data.

All in all, this is an excellent application for users to add one additional layer of safety for the delete button.

This is a Windows based product and runs on all OS’ from Microsoft, including Windows 7.
