    I can't send files to the recycle bin in Windows 10.


    When I delete files in Windows 10, it asks me if I want to permanently delete the file instead of sending it to the recycle bin. I've seen other posts in the forums about this but the only response seems to be to go to the recycle bin properties and select custom. That's not an option for me because that option is grayed out for both of my internal drives. How do I fix this?
