How Recycle Bin Works

Recycle Bin has two stages:
  • First stage: When you delete a file from your site or My Site, it goes into the "end user" recycle bin, and stays there for up to 14 days from the time you deleted it. You can remove the file earlier by manually removing (or restoring) it. Items in the first stage count against your site quota. If you deleted the file accidentally, you (or the site collection administrator) can restore it. To restore an item from this stage of the recycle bin, click Recycle Bin, check the box next to the item to restore, and then click Restore selection.
  • Second stage: When an item is removed from the first stage, it goes to the Site Collection Recycle Bin, where it remains for another 14 days before it is purged (i.e., removed entirely). Items in this second stage do not count against your site's quota. The size of the second stage is equal to one quarter of your site quota (i.e. with a 10 GB quota, an additional 5 GB is allocated to the second stage Recycle Bin). If you exceed your second stage quota, the system automatically purges the oldest items to make room for new items. Only site collection administrators are able to access and restore files in the Site Collection Recycle Bin. To restore an item from the Site Collection Recycle Bin:
    1. On the site actions menu, select site collection
    2. Under "Site Collection Administration", select Recycle bin.
    3. Check the box next to the item or items to restore, and then click Restore Selection In the confirmation box, click OK.

Error 0x800700DF: The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved

This is the error which drives me crazy for more than 5 hours and finally able to found out the resolution for this. If you face any issue while uploading a file to the sharepoint document library then first thing obviously we will check the file size upload quota for file by means of SharePoint Central Administration.

it would be a good questions or i can called it as mystery when i was working on this as what would be the resolution for this ??

No need to worry as this issue has been resolved and you dont have to waste your time, just like i had spend.

here is the resolution:
1-Open Windows Registry using regedit command
2-Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
3-Right click on the FileSizeLimitInBytes and click Modify
4-Click on Decimal, and type 4294967295 and click OK
5-Restart Web Client service using Services

Create site collections

You can create new top-level site collections when you create your Web application or any time later using the Create Site Collections option in Application Management. You can create a top-level site collection using either the root URL of an unextended Web application or a managed path such as /sites or any other wildcard inclusion path you have created.When creating a new site collection, you will provide the following information.
  • Title and description
  • Website address using either the root of the Web application or a URL path
  • A site template that will be used to create the new site collection
  • A site collection administrator and a secondary administrator if required
  • A quota limit template if required
Make sure  to choose the correct Web application before creating the site collection so the collection is available in the correct Web application.
