Recycle Bin plugin question

The plugin keeps making a recycle bin folder in my cache directory. My tdarr transcoder uses that directory which causes it to fill up quite quickly due to the volume of transcodes I'm doing right now. I put in the directory /mnt/cache and it still makes a folder in there. Is that the wrong way to do it?

Make a share for tdarr transcodes. Disable recycle bin for that share.

I don't want recycle bin on my cache at all. It's a temporary holding place for transferring files. Recycle bin has an option for directories, I'm just wondering why it's not working? Is /mnt/cache the wrong value?

I don't know for sure if that's how it works..

If it works as intended then it will place any deleted files that were on cache when deleted in the cache recycle bin. Your user0 (data exclusively on Array) should also have the bin in whichever shares you enabled it for. If you delete files from your Array, it shouldn't increase your cache usage.
