Moderator comment: Moved to General because it doesn’t refer to or contain a FlowStone schematic. Also Avira says the zip contains a heuristic virus!

I can see 'recyclearly' now ...

Thanx to this little invention of mine I will have UPDATE downloads
for most of my FS midi/audio projects available ASAP.
A day or two more ...

One of the most useful mini-tools I have ever created!

"RCYCLEAR"

Download Link:

https://invntefx.com/ssl/_utilitools/rcyclear.zip
Filename: rcyclear.zip

No setup to install and completely portable.

Download the rcyclear.zip file ...
unzip it and put 'rcylear.exe' ANYWHERE ...
On Desktop/My Documents/USB Flash Drive, etc ...
It is built as a very small, powerful .bat script.
w/Elevated Admin Command Prompt.
Works with all Windows versions ... even 11.

"rcyclear.exe' is a hefty 100 kilobytes Recycle Bin Cleaner.
Permanently empties the 'Hidden System' $RECYCLE BIN Folder ...
WITH ONE CLICK. NO OPTIONS. NO DELAY. JUST CLICK ONCE. DONEDEAL.

Then it immediately opens the folder to examine ...
If contents still exist it has accessed the $RECYCLE BIN Folder ...
Simply 'Manually Delete' leftovers permanently or ... restore them.

NEXT it opens the Desktop Recycle Bin to examine and/or clear.

When the desire/need to take out the trash ARISES ...
Everyone wants to simply empty the recycle bin without distraction,

Sometimes it still shows remnants in the Desktop Recycle Bin ...
even after a 'Cleaning' attempt.

So ... one has to stop ... usually in the middle of an important
computer operation ... open the Desktop Recycle Bin. Manually Empty IT.
AND ... STILL WONDER?

NOT ANYMORE!

RCYCLEAR ... AS SIMPLE AND INNOVATIVE AS THE PAPER CLIP.


P.S. I can now 'Flowstone' and discard unwanted test/files simultaneously.
'let not one hand need two more hands and another brain to keep on truckin'

Thank You for your consideration and attentiveness. At time of post I also considered the preference of General Forum location as this is more contextually correct. I have also compiled a unique, select and robust version for monitor/maintenance of the AppData/Roaming/Flowstone/Modules/Deleted Modules Folder that is indispensable. I will not post same until further notice of approval.


TO WIT:

if _%1_==_payload_ goto :payload
(Minimal 'Must Be Equal To/Greater Than >>' Admn/UAC Access Settings Code Request)

If you examine the batch file script it is obvious that the preliminary elevated administrator command prompt source code is the generator for the 'false positive' anti-virus scan result. This is quite typical when UAC is alerted. I have used this same 'pseudo-take ownership' batch code for many years ... since windows 7. It has always worked if a computer owner has admin/uac privileges set to minimum, although will immediately echo lack of access to protected folders/files as this is a requirement responsibility of the computer owner/operator.
Very reliable and compliant. Computer Politically Correct Polite Syntax Too! Based On the Reliable Microsoft VBS Language.
However, in the event you determine these materials unacceptable delete the post and download link at your discretion.

Suggestion: Copy/Paste the entire code into a text file and 'save as' <Filename>.bat ... run same and the results exactly match the submitted zip content. I simply compiled a .bat to .exe of the script and zipped it.

NOTE: 'Newbies' should be informed that .EXE files may sometimes actually self-activate during accepted download if the Internet Browser utilized is susceptible. The ZIP Compression Method is a 'CAB' (cabinet file type) process created to assist in security transfer protocol of files with known potential-volatile extensions (e.g. .exe, .ini, .dll & etcerera).
This is why many geeks including 'Flowstoners' with .fsm files ZIP ... some computers won't even recognize or download files with rare/custom/original extensions <Filenamez>.* ( .* refers to 'Wildcard').

VALUABLE SECURITY BLANKET INFO FOR INTERNET USERS/SURFERS

Almost all computers now automatically pre-scan a file chosen for download prior to allowing it.

A method of alternate preparation of an executable for download is to change the ".exe" filename extension to ".$$$" as this is more commonly/widely accepted by browsers for download access.
It is intended to prevent the received file from actually automatically self-activating during/after download.
Upon download changing the ".$$$" to ".exe" will convert the file back into an executable.
The 'dollar sign' is a prefix-suffix character utilized to represent a folder/file that may contain hidden (h) .attributes. It does not 'hide' the file ... merely indicates that the file may contain such.

BEWARE! such method is also utilized by hackers to 'wrap/embed' disguised potentially dangerous/critical/fatal content!
That is why I do not recommend or use this method.

Certain file characteristics contained within a folder/file itself as well as the zip method may 'trigger' a scan process to recognize the content as 'false-positive' potentially harmful and advise against download.

The most common of 'false-positive' file extensions is ".tar" used mainly by "perps" whom 'crack' (reverse-engineer tarball) licensed software in order to distribute it publicly. Tarball Cracking is a method that uses 'multiple bandwidth' file transfer for deception.

Next in line is ".rar" and finally ".zip" although these 2 are more likely to be safer.

It may be noticed that a folder/file/script code contains underline "_front/back-door_" attributes as added firewall protection.
This is commonly used to 'trigger' an alert for a request to scan/monitor a folder/file and/or script code for either acceptance or rejection.

Embedding these various attributes:
"$" "_ _" and even the required directory switches (internet "/" and computer "\") into a file compiled as an executable quite often appears 'heuristically' unacceptable (aka computer dangerous anonymous alias) to a scan procedure/program.
Especially if these are used 'candidly unencrypted' to operate the routine/sub-routine of the script code contained within a ".cmd" ".bat" ".exe" and etcetera type file of new and/or unknown origin.

In Conclusion ...
"if in doubt?: DONT! ... OPT OUT!!!"
