Similar to this question, I need to permanently delete only specific items from the recycle bin. I need to know more than just their names, however, and SPRecycleBinItem seems to have only have a LeafName and DirName property, no Item property to see what the deleted item actually contains (I need the SPListItem).

Does anyone know if there's a way to actually get the deleted objects? Perhaps a hidden recycle bin list buried somewhere?

As for why I need to do this, I'm trying to design a way to programmatically delete content types that actually works.

Thanks.

When a user deletes a document seems like document binaries are deleted from table AllDocs to RecycleBin where it only keeps some information about document. These tables are in content database of that application.

I am not able to figure out as what it does with <Binary data> when a document record is moved from alldocs to recyclebin table. as this Binary data keeps all meta data about document and when you restore document, it uses it to restore document.

I don't think there is any easy way to get other properties of deleted document unless you do a hack which will going to be complex and HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. You might want to change the logic of your solution.

    Too bad. Maybe someday they'll actually improve the API.
