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.

Recycle Bin in recovery partition filling

Just as a test, I deleted the $RECYCLE.bin /recycle bin folders that were on the Recovery partition along with all the files. Then checked the recycle bin on the Desktop. Everything had been emptied there too. I then created a desktop short cut called TEST and deleted it. It was in the Desktop Recycle bin. But new Recycle.bin/Recycle folders had been created in the Recovery partition and the deleted shortcut was there too. So somehow the two are linked.
