Manage the Recycle Bin

November 16, 2007

The Windows Recycle Bin can take up a large part of your hard drive space - 10% by default. To reclaim some of that disk space:

1. Right click the Recycle Bin icon.

2. Click Properties

Next to Custom Size you can set the size of the Recycle Bin in megabytes, 200 megabytes should be suitable for most drives.

If you prefer that deleted files not go into the Recycle Bin and instead be deleted immediately:

Click the radio button next to Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted.recycle-bin.jpg
