    Recycle bin Windows 10


    Hi


    When I open the recycle bin, there should be an icon that says "empty the recycle bin." Well, the darn thing has disappeared. So now, when I open the recycle bin, I have to manually delete each item in the bin.


    Can anyone tell me where my icon has gone and how to get it back. I've probably altered the 'view' settings but I can't figure out how to restore the bin to the way it was.


    Any help appreciated.


    Sue

    :)

    • Right click on the Recycle Bin icon.
    • Under the Settings for selected location, select Custom size.
    • Fill up the box for your allotted maximum file size for your Recycle Bin.
