I noticed that some of my ext hdds have several Recyclers and some of them are over a year old. What use do they serve and can they be deleted without causing problems to the drive?

if you have ever had norton on your computer it will take linux to remove them as they are protected even after uninstalling norton...a PITA for sure...

I never had norton installed in my PC, I've always used Avast. Can I just delete them? Can you also tell me what they are, just out of curiosity?
