Hello, I have set up a POC for Elastic Stack and it has been gathering logs for ~1-2 months in smaller volumes. However, one day the service has stopped and upon connecting to the server I was faced with the following errors: "The Recycle Bin on D:\ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?" along with: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/9/99345a114e2e7a7c15d3a96114bb07e1c0efea02.png) The entire D: drive gives the same errors and upon checking the Disk Management utility I could see that the D: drive is gone entirely from there. Is this a known issue, or could anyone have any clue on how this could have happened? Only the server running Elastic Search have had this issue. ---

Hi @LucasKH, sorry to hear you're having issues. However there's no way that a regular application like Elasticsearch could cause this sort of error. There's something fundamentally wrong with your system, perhaps a hardware failure. There's [a few docs about this in the manual](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/corruption-troubleshooting.html) but basically it's not something with which we can help.
