    Every time I use the windows disk cleanup utility I have to check the recycle bin. Is there a way in Windows 10 to always have the recycle bin checked?

    Disk Cleanup Not Cleaning Ext. HDD Recycle Bin


    I ran disk cleanup and selected my external hdd and selected the recycle bin.
    After 10 minutes disk cleanup closed. But, the Recycle bin still has the files in it.
    I manually cleaned the recycle bin and it took 2 minutes.

    Am I missing something with Disk Cleanup??

    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.
