    An odd damage/corruption to some functions of the Recycle Bin


    Installed Windows 10 Pro 1803 (newly purchased software. not upgraded) some weeks ago, and like everyone else I faced a number of minor issues, most of which were resolved, but there are some, this in particular, I can't.

    • I lost the desktop recycle bin folder icon (empty or full) and in its place there is the same simple document icon, regardless of the folder's status.
    • The folder "Properties" displays "The properties for this item are not available."
    • The open recycle bin folder is partially functional. The "Restore" is on the context menu and works, but is missing the "Empty Recycle bin" control on the menu/toolbar.
    • The Desktop context menu item "Empty Recycle bin" works.
    • The desktop settings show both recycling bin icons correctly, and their checkboxes are selected.
    I had this identical issue in Windows 7, and I tried every utility dealing with Recycle bin issues from Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 8, but nothing helped. It was fixed unexpectedly by a small freeware utility (possibly for XP), which installed a toilet icon, displaying the folder status with either a seat up or down. I didn't care for it and uninstalled it. And "lo and behold," the original icons and functions returned. But now, I can't find this freeware. Perhaps someone can help to resolve this issue?

    :)

    recycle bin

    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.
    Let us know if you need further assistance.
