[Samba] More on recycle problem

[Anders Östling]

I have done some more checking today on the customers Samba server. I have a script that runs every night and removes deleted files that are older than 30 days. Right now there are approx 1700 files (and directories) deleted the last 30 days. Most, if not all, is office-type files like pdf, xls, doc etc.

(Clients run Windows 10, DC is Win server 2019 and Samba server Ubuntu 20.04)

The weird thing is that all XLS files are 165 bytes in size, DOC files 162 bytes and PDF’s mostly 0 (as per my earlier post). Let me show some examples here
