I'm not sure about deleting the recycled folder from your flash cards, but I
would think that you can.  It would be a good idea first to open the
properties for the Recycle Bin itself, and tell it that each drive is to be
configured independently.  There's a pair of radio buttons in the General
tab that controls that. If you don't select independent drive configuration,
you could probably delete that recycled folder and it will just come right
back, or else you'd get some sort of error.  Just guessing here.
