    $Recycle bin


    I have a HDD wuth two partitions and want to delete many files on the partition to release some storage space. I have deleted many files that should release about 1 TByte of space. I then deleted these from myt recycle bin but no space is released

    The $Recycle bin on my E drive. is showing empty but it is still not releasing 1.4 TByes of space. How do i release this?


    I have tried the windows 7 option of rd /s /q D:\$Recycle.binbut this does not work

    Can someone offer a solution please

    :)

    Hi George,

    To prevent your files from being deleted from the Recycle Bin, we suggest increasing the maximum file size your Recycle Bin can keep by following the steps below:

    • 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.
