Hopefully someone has seen this;

When I go to Start-->Turn off Computer, a message box comes up:

Delete

{Very Large !} Recent is a Windows system folder & is required for Windows to run properly. It cannot be deleted

[OK]

I haven't deleted anything except temp files. This has shown up for awhile.

Thanks Bruce

Do you run a script to delete "recent" items or have a privacy/security
program configured to remove "recent" items? If yes, it sounds like they
are trying to remove the recent folder instead of its contents.

If using a script, correct the syntax used in the script file. If using a
program, either disable that setting -or- check for an update to the
program that corrects the problem -or- contact tech support for that
program.

No to both I do not even know what it is for never mind deleting it.
