Windows 10: Deleted Items Not Showing In Recycle Bin

On the desktop there is the recycle bin.

The following has just started to happen.

Before when I deleted something, the recycle bin showed that there was something in the bin.

Now when I delete something the recycle bin does NOT show that there is something in the bin.

I have to click on the recycle bin and OPEN it to see if anything is there.

Then I delete the items I want to.

Can anyone please help.

:)

Deleting items in Recycle Bin

I deleted them directly from the Recycle Bin. I did what you suggested - clicking on Empty Recycle Bin - but it did not help. Any other suggestions? Thanks

Hi George,

• 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.
