If you want to stop them reappearing, use FSRM, then you can just delete them once with a normal explorer search

Just found a problem with this, Vista/7 network recycle bin uses a desktop.ini file, and you can't search for it in explorer. So you can't move those files anywhere without deleting all the recycle bin special folders

New solution: 2 bat files

psexec \\dc01 filescrn screen modify /path:e:\users /typeassive
psexec \\dc02 filescrn screen modify /path:e:\users /typeassive

and again with /type:active after doing what you need
