Rcloneview won't honour my excluded hidden os system folders

Relay4558 · February 16, 2026, 3:14pm

/.$RECYCLE.BIN/ /.System Volume Information/ /.Recovery/ folders when added to the Sync Job Filtering Settings, still get uploaded.

Hi Relay4558,

Could you share a screenshot of your filter settings in the Sync Job configuration? That would help us check the issue and see exactly how the exclusion rules are configured.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this.

Please try adding the Windows system folders without the leading dot in Sync Job Filtering Settings:

/$RECYCLE.BIN/
/System Volume Information/
/Recovery/

The dotted forms (/.System Volume Information/, /.Recovery/, etc.) may not match your actual folder names, which can cause those folders to still upload.

But I literally copied the filename verbatim to the way it actually is, so then why would I need to remove the dot?
