This article shows you how to customize the size of the Recycle Bin in Windows 10. The content is concise and easy to understand, which will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

Why you might want to change the Recycle Bin size

There are two situations in which you may want to change the size of the Recycle Bin:

Volumes with little disk space are always available, and the Recycle Bin takes up a large portion.

Due to the limited size of the Recycle Bin, the Recycle Bin cannot hold all the files you deleted. FIFO is then used to make room for new files.

There are three Recycle Bin configuration states on Windows:

-- default-Windows selects the * size of the Recycle Bin.

-Custom size-the user or administrator selects a custom size for the Recycle Bin.

-- Bypass-- automatically delete files without using the Recycle Bin.

Set custom recycle bin size

Right-click the Recycle Bin and choose Properties from the context menu to open the Recycle Bin properties and management options.

This window lists all Recycle Bin locations and total available space. It does not list the available sizes, nor does it provide an overview of each Recycle Bin size.

Windows highlights the current status of the selected Recycle Bin. If it is active, the size that can be used to save the deleted file is displayed.

Simply activate the * size field and type a new number to change the * size of the Recycle Bin. You can increase or decrease the number there. Select apply, and then click OK to make changes.

If you do not need the Recycle Bin feature, you can also select do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Delete files immediately after deletion. Any files deleted on the active volume are deleted immediately and are not moved to the Recycle Bin.

Repeat the above steps for each volume listed by Windows. Note that you need to install an encrypted drive and connect a network drive to display in the list. The location list is not automatically updated, which means that you need to exit the properties window and open it again when you connect or load a new drive.

* one option is to enable "Show deletion confirmation dialog box" in the option. I'm not entirely sure about the role of the option, because Windows displays a delete confirmation dialog box, regardless of the status of the option.

Third-party tools

Third-party tools may improve the way you use the Recycle Bin. For example, there is the Recycle Bin Ex, which adds two new features that users might like. * deadlines that allow you to set the contents of the Recycle Bin; anything older is automatically deleted without having to do anything about it.

Note that windows10's Storage Sense feature supports similar but more restricted versions. You can configure Storage Sense to automatically delete Recycle Bin content that is longer than 30 days.

The second function is to add a file type grouping option, which sorts files by type in the interface.

And Minibin adds the Recycle Bin to the System Tray area of Windows for faster access.
