>>I am trying to robocopy all files from an external drive to the hard drive on Win 7. But when I execute command ROBOCOPY from the command prompt with parameter /MIR the copying stops (gets stuck) on attempting to delete folder d:\$recycle.bin. I thought that recycle folder should be on the C drive but somehow it ended up being on d: drive. The only way I can see this folder (d:\$recycle.bin) is from the command prompt; when using Windows Explorer this file does not show.

http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy.htmlI just thought about the same thing; how to exclude a folder from the Robocopy. Thank you. (I will have to deal with this Recyle folder later).
