    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.

  3. Recycle Bin Directory

    What is the Recycle Bin Directory for opening via a script. What I want to initially do is remove it and make a custom button off the normal Windows desktop. I have tried C:\$Recycle.Bin, but it opens as a normal folder which is empty and I am unable to
    use it like the normal Recycle Bin (i.e. Right Click + Empty). Is there any other directory?
