$I, $R files under <SYSTEMDRIVE>:\$Recycle.Bin\<USER_SID>\
Overview
Deleted files and folders (if deleted through a recycle bin aware application).
The deleted files are placed in a subfolder (under
%SystemDrive%:\$Recycle.Bin
) named after the SID
of the user that performed
the deletion. Deleted files can thus be associated with a given user.
