Explanation
The INFO2 (sometimes referenced as INF02) hidden file in the Recycled folder stores metadata about deleted files, including their original full path and filename. If this file is deleted, Windows automatically re-creates it upon the next system restart. This is a Windows OS behavior tied to the shell's management of the Recycle Bin subsystem, not triggered by task manager, antivirus, or anti-spyware tools.
