Eli5 Why can’t there be 2 files with the same name in the same directory but in the recycle bin, it’ll allow it?

Answer 1

Because there’s metadata showing where they came from. They’re the same file name, but not the same path. Or are you saying same name and same path?

If it’s the latter, I’d presume because they have different creation times. Try restoring all of them and see what happens.
