When files are removed from SL's cache, do they get put in the Recycle Bin? In operating systems where the question applies, that is.

I delete mine manually and they go into the bin. I've never used the auromatic clearing feature.

Since I do a disk clean up about twice a day I can say I've never seen the SL cache in the recylcle bin. I would say no.......it does not move the cache to the recylcle bin.

Files are removed from the cache during normal operation of SL. That's what I mean.

Only so much space is allocated to the cache. Cached items have a half life, sort of, and get removed when their time is up, if free space is needed for new items.

I'm wondering because when I delete files manually in Windows Explorer, the delete dialog stays there for ages. I've read this may have something to do with needing to flush the recycle bin, although my experience suggests to me that my slow deletes problem is unfortunately something more elusive.

Second Life's display of prims and textures is so slow it makes one start trying to invent explanations for it, hopeful explanations that can be corrected.
