    Recycle Bin always shows full


    I am on Windows Pro 64 [Version 10.0.18363.959]. Recently the Recycle Bin icon always shows full, even though I have just emptied the folder. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

    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.

    Full recycle bin

    Hi

    I have kind of a silly question. The waste basket on my recycle bin is full. What I would

    like to know is "If I empty recycle bin, do I lose all my files that are on my computer"?

    Are there any notifications showing you what files are in the recycle bin before you

    press Empty recycle Bin? I clicked Empty recycle bin and it asked me if I was sure I

    wanted to empty x number of files, I counted the files that were on my computer and

    it came up with the same number of files that it asked me to empty.

    I have read different questions and answers from the MS community and am unclear

    as how do just empty the ones that are in the recycle bin.

    Thanks for any help and suggestions
