$RECYCLE.BIN Folder Created On Flash Drive

the $recycle.bin folder changes the structure of the files.

That is simply not true.  When you delete files on a drive with Windows it puts the deleted files in the $recycle.bin folder.  The only uses for the files in the folder are 1. to be restored by Windows and 2. permanently deleted.  No direct user use of them.  If you want/need to use a file in the folder use Windows to Restore the file to the drive.

Windows normally hides this folder so as to not confuse users.  Why you are seeing it I don’t know.
