Windows 10: Recycle bin space on c drive

I'm asking this question just out of curiosity. So the question is my C drive is 118 GB SSD and the maximum storage capacity of recycle bin on C drive is 7.9 GB. So it's probably 6.7% of space on C drive. So now if my C drive is like 114.5/118 GBfull then will my recycle bin still hold the default 6.7% which is 7.9 GB even when my drive gets full or does it reduce the default size of recycle bin on C as the space on C drive is getting filled?

Issue with recycle bin, windows defender, hard drive space, etc. Dell Support couldn't help.

We suggest that you reset the Recycle Bin folder to fix problems such as the Recycle Bin of your PC not working how it's supposed to. After the reset, Windows will automatically create a new Recycle Bin folder that will work.

To reset the Recycle Bin, follow the steps below:

• Open elevated Command Prompt by pressing the Windows key + X, and then click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the Command Prompt window, type the following command then press Enter:
  
  rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin

That command will reset the Recycle Bin in the C drive. After doing so, we also suggest that you run the System File Checker (SFC) scan and the Deployment Image Servicing & Management (DISM) tool to repair corrupted files in the system.

Here are the steps:

• On elevated Command Prompt, type SFC /scannow, and then press
  Enter.
• After the SFC scan has completed, type DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, and then press
  Enter.
• Restart the PC.

Recycle Bin

Hi,

The Recycle Bin shouldn't automatically empty unless it reaches it exceeds the maximum space available on it. Another reason why this is happening may be due to third party anti virus programs or applications that manages your computer. To better assist you,
kindly answer the questions below:

• When did this issue start?
• Did you install any antivirus programs/applications recently?

To adjust the maximum size allowed in the Recycle Bin, simply right click on the program and select
Properties. Under Recycle Bin Location, click the location of the Recycle Bin you want to change (likely your C drive). Uncheck the option
Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted and then click
OK.

We'll be waiting for your response.
