Find Date Recycle Bin Was Last Emptied

Where on my computer would I be able to find the last date that the recycle bin was last emptied, would such an event be stored in the windows sys开发者_如何学编程tem logs? and if so where?

Thanks :)

I doubt it would be recorded anywhere in the event logs, but there might be file system traces left.

UPDATE: using UnixTools I can confirm there are file system traces left. If you navigate to C:\$Recycle.Bin there will be a number of entries (even with the bin appearing empty). These entries appear to correspond to security IDs (SIDs) on the system. In my test the most recently modified one was the date and time I last emptied the recycle bin.

This means it probably can be retrieved programatically with the Windows API.
