Hello.
I've seen that with 'exiftool' command I can get file info from cmd.
Now I'd like to get info (name and original location) of the files stored in recycle bin.
I've tried
exiftool C:\$Recycle.bin\file1.txt
but I'm getting the message
Error: File not found - C:/$Recycle.bin/file1.txt
while the file file1.txt is correctly in the recycle bin.
Is there a way for getting those info I need?
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Files are not directly in C:\$Recycle.bin They are actually in a subfolder depending upon the user who deleted the file. Additionally, they no longer have the original filename. The names will be something like $IVGYKVH.jpg or $R047EH9.jpg If you run dir C:\$Recycle.bin /a you'll be able to see the subdirectories. Once you figure out the full path, you'll be able to run exiftool on those files.
