58Change Various Recycle Bin Settings in Windows 10 [Tutorial]
Recycle Bin is one of the most important tools in Windows operating system. The tool acts as a same filter, that helps you check the things you have deleted once more before permanently removing them from your computer. The tool provides you option to restore the deleted images so that you don’t lose any of your data. Windows 10 has polished the look of the tool and if you want, you can also customize it. The following tutorial will show you to the process of changing the default Recycle Bin icon in Windows 10.
Any time you delete something in Windows, it goes to the Recycle Bin. It sits there until the Recycle Bin reaches it’s preconfigured maximum size (or until you empty the bin), at which point Windows deletes the oldest files in the bin to make room for new ones. This gives you a chance to restore deleted files before they’re permanently gone.
Most people just leave the Recycle Bin alone, never adjusting its default settings and letting it do its job. Today, though, we’re going to talk about those settings you can adjust.
On Windows 10, the Recycle Bin is a great feature designed to store deleted files, instead of erasing them immediately from the hard drive. If you ever need them back, you can use this feature to restore one or multiple files as necessary.
The only caveat is that Recycle Bin won't keep all your deleted files indefinitely. Depending on the size of the partition, only five to fifteen percent of space is reserved to store deletions. As space fills up, Windows 10 will start erasing the oldest files to make room to accommodate new deletions, reducing the number of files you can recover.
However, you can adjust the settings to change the maximum storage size to increase the number of files you can restore, remove files bypassing the Recycle Bin, and even add a confirmation dialog to prevent accidental deletions.
