If a disk drive is the folder selected for loading into Mp3tag, audio files in the recycle bin are included.

For example: if "Change directory..." ![:mt_dir:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/530378ebceea3c6a02919a04d345cdd59334532f.png ":mt\_dir:") is clicked and (W:) is selected, then all audio files are loaded, including those in the W drive's recycle bin.  
As far as I can tell, the only thing Mp3tag allows for the files in the bin is "Remove".

It is probably inconvenient to reproduce by anyone with a large number of files on a every hard disk.  
I discovered it by accident when using a "work" disk that had less than 2000 files.

This is not much of a problem, but it seems like undesired behaviour.

I've fixed this with [Mp3tag v2.91a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455). Thanks for reporting!

It is true that files are no longer loaded from the recycle bin.  
But now, no files are loaded.  
I created a new bug report, here:[No files are displayed when loading drive root directory](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/no-files-are-displayed-when-loading-drive-root-directory/43902)
