Recycle Bin Issue
Running Windows 10 version 20H2 64-bit
I have thousands of files in my Recycle bin. I'm reluctant to delete them. When I view the Recycle bin in Windows File Explorer, it is either very slow to finish loading - the green bar at the top takes a long time to get to the right-hand end. Sometimes the computer freezes. I have listed the files using the command prompt, but they mostly have names beginning with $ and which don't mean anything. Is there a way I can save the files, with their original names, to a disk drive (not C:)?
(As a bit of background, many of the files got into the recycle bin when I ran the dupeguru duplicate file finder program on all my HDDs and told it to delete all the copies to the recycle bin. But I think some of the files it deleted weren't copies.)
Thanks
