#eTubeGuide : How To Settings For File Delete Option on Computer Recycle Bin

» #eTubeGuide Video Description :

To manage the File Delete option and settings for the Recycle Bin on your computer, you can adjust settings that control how deleted files are handled, as well as how long they remain in the Recycle Bin. Here’s how to do it on both Windows and macOS:

For Windows:

Step 1: Open Recycle Bin Settings

1. Right-click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop.
2. From the context menu, select Properties. This will open the Recycle Bin Properties window.

Step 2: Adjust Recycle Bin Settings

In the Recycle Bin Properties window, you will see a few options for how deleted files are managed:

1. Custom Size of Recycle Bin:

   • In the General tab, you can set the maximum size of the Recycle Bin. The default size is often set to a percentage of your hard drive space.
   • You can adjust this slider to control how much space the Recycle Bin can use. When the Recycle Bin exceeds this size, the oldest deleted files will be automatically removed.

2. Delete Files Permanently:

   • You can choose whether or not to permanently delete files when they are deleted from certain locations.
   • To enable this, check the box that says "Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted."
   • This will cause files to bypass the Recycle Bin and be permanently deleted without being recoverable unless using data recovery software.

3. Apply to All Drives:

   • If you have multiple drives (partitions), you can configure the Recycle Bin settings for each individual drive. Just select the drive in the Recycle Bin Properties window and set its size limit or choose other settings.

Step 3: Empty Recycle Bin Automatically (Optional)

To set up an automatic deletion schedule for the Recycle Bin, you can enable Storage Sense (available in Windows 10 and later):

1. Go to Settings > System > Storage.
2. Scroll down and click Configure Storage Sense or run it now.
3. Enable Storage Sense and set it to automatically delete files in the Recycle Bin after 30 days (or any other period).

For macOS:

Step 1: Open the Trash Settings

1. Right-click on the Trash icon in the Dock.
2. Select "Empty Trash" to delete all files in the Trash.

macOS doesn’t offer as much control over the Trash settings as Windows does, but you can still customize some behaviors:

Step 2: Set Trash to Automatically Empty

You can use Terminal to set macOS to automatically empty the Trash after a certain period:

1. Open Terminal (find it in Applications > Utilities).
2. Enter the following command to set your Mac to automatically delete items in Trash after 30 days:

   bash
   Copy code
   sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
   

   • This command is more for immediate use, and macOS doesn’t provide a built-in option like Windows for regular automatic emptying.

Step 3: Use Third-Party Apps (Optional)

If you need more granular control over the Trash, there are third-party apps like CleanMyMac that allow you to configure the automatic emptying of the Trash.

Conclusion

• On Windows, you can configure Recycle Bin settings such as custom sizes, and whether files should be deleted permanently or moved to the Recycle Bin.
• On macOS, the Trash doesn’t have built-in automatic deletion features like Windows, but you can use Terminal commands or third-party apps to achieve similar functionality.

By adjusting these settings, you can ensure that deleted files are managed according to your preferences, whether you want them to be permanently deleted immediately or to stay in the Recycle Bin for a specific time.
