Could a corrupted recycle bin cause macrium cyclic redundancy check error?

[christopheranderson]

I’m wondering, can corrupted recycle bin cause macrium cyclic redundancy check error during backups? Are there other possible causes and fixes?

Yes, it’s possible but not very common. A corrupted Recycle Bin can sometimes cause file system issues, and if Macrium tries to read a problematic file during backup, it may trigger a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error. However, CRC errors are more often related to disk corruption, bad sectors, or failing storage drives rather than the Recycle Bin itself. Running a disk check can help identify the real cause.

Yes, a corrupted Recycle Bin in Windows can sometimes contribute to a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error during backups with Macrium Reflect. This happens if damaged files or file-system issues exist in the Recycle Bin, causing read errors while the backup software scans the drive. Emptying or resetting the Recycle Bin and running a disk check can often help resolve the problem.
