I am using Beta 5 of WD.

I created a new task to monitor the number of .png files in a directory. 

Options:

When, inside the monitored folder. . . there are more than 15 files. . . move or remove files: Delete or move files from the monitored directory: matching these patterns *.png oldest file first
with mark in: Instead of deleting, move the files to: S:\New\T2-{yearonly:cr}{month}{day}

Where are my files?  It says it DELETED 18 files (see the XML attached)!  They are not in my recycle bin!  Where did they go!

Perhaps I was idiotic to assume that the files would go to the recycle bin.  But they are not there.

There was no option to make deleted files go to recycle bin, and now my files are completely gone (confirmed with Windows search). 

The file that appears in the above-referenced directory is a standard un-suffixed file called "T2-061014" which was created 10/13/2006 8:00 PM (it was truly created at 10/14/2006 at 4:21 PM as that was the time the task took place).  The file is nearly 3MB in size but I don't know what it is or how to access it.  I do know that the 18 .png files that were wholly deleted took up about 16MB of space or more.

I am now scared to death to use this software as a whole week's worth of work is now GONE.  No directories were created as indicated. I guess I should have known better than to use a beta to work with my production files.

Thanks for the ultra-fast response, I see the error now.  I'll set it up differently next time!!
