I have what I think to be one of the strangest things I have seen in a while. I have a Recycle bin that is clearing out every night. The weird part is that this is for only one web application (multiple site collection within web application) in a farm.
I have confirmed the web app settings are set to 30days (confirmed via GUI and Power Shell). I have confirmed that there are no scheduled tasks that are running some strange scripting to do this. I have confirmed with the end user that someone is not just going and clearing that shoudl not be (strange if they were doing this to every site collection). I have looked through timer jobs to see if somehow a custom timer job was put in this environment, but nothing related to this.
When I come in in the morning I check the "end user recycle bin" as a site collection admin and there is nothing there from yesterday. Items from today are there. I then check one of the other web applications and there is still data from previous days.
This is baffling me so I thought I would post it out here and see if anyone has any thoughts.
Thanks
