and perhaps read through the posts after the highlighted thread as well. The process will require some knowledge of linux.
Though I find Snapshots to be a good alternative. With snapshots enabled, you can roll-back to older versions of the share, and if you right-click from windows on a file you can see/access previous versions. If you right-click on the folder and access previous versions, you can select deleted files and restore them. It's not exactly the same as the recycle bin, but it is similar.
Sorry, I made a mistake with the link I used in my previous post (I already updated it). Anyway, StephenB already gave an introduction on how Snapshots work on the new OS 6 systems. Just let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks for the help but snapshot is not what I needed. Guess the simple answer is no, the recycle bin tick box has been removed from the RN104 operating system.
I apologize if the said feature you are looking for is unavailable on the new OS 6 system. If you want this feature to be added again, I suggest that you post another thread on this board.

putty and ssh required
1) create file addons.conf as below
\etc\frontview\samba\addons\addons.conf
I think you have to create the addons directory as well.
2) then edit addons.conf, I use vi, to include the shares that you wish to have Recycle Bin activated for (include the square brackets)
[name of your share 1] vfs objects = recycle recycle:repository = Recycle Bin recycle:keeptree = yes recycle:versions = no
[name of your share 2] vfs objects = recycle recycle:repository = Recycle Bin recycle:keeptree = yes recycle:versions = no
3) Save file. As you can see you can choose the name of the "bin" . leave putty window open
4) to "activate" go to frontview interface on the nas and the share window
toggle a property of the share for example ftp on to off. this reloads the config file to include addons.conf
5)then in putty window type:
testparm
this should list your shares and show the recycle:parameters for the shares defined
6) close putty
I did this and I was a complete linux/ssh novice.
If you install/update firrmware on the nas check that this file exists, factory reset obviously wipes this file
It works for usb attached drives etc just use the drive name ie USB_HDD_1 etc
for very large >5Tb usb drives there is also a bit of a fidddle required on some NAS' due to the adding of the addons.conf file to the "main config file. If it does not load then post and I can give pointers on how to correct.
