One of the powerful features and
performance of Windows that is the Recycle Bin allows files and folders to be
removed temporarily before being removed completely. The following article will
guide the steps so you can master the Recycle Bin in Windows XP, Vista and
Windows 7.
Step 1
Step 2
After you select Delete, the file
or your folder not really deleted (this is why it is called the Recycle Bin
rather than Shredder - Shredder or something similar). It only gets trashed;
still using the memory of the drive, but Windows Explorer can not see it. To
completely erase what you want, need to right-click on the Recycle Bin icon and
choose Empty Recycle Bin, what you put in the tank will be removed completely,
so you need to be careful with this option.
Step 3
Step 4
Before any file or folder is
selected, you can choose Empty the Recycle Bin or restore all items - restore
all items (in Windows 7 and Vista can choose the action at the top of the
window work, but in Windows XP the options in the left corner). The restoration
is quite sensitive, so you should select each file to be restored;, or select a
file to restore and select Restore from the menu. Files or folders to be
restored in this way will return to its original position.
Step 5
By default, Windows will install the
files, folder into the trash instead of deleting them immediately, and your
computer will always be asked to confirm the file, and the folder is selected
for deletion. This setting can be changed by right-clicking on the trash icon
on the desktop and select Properties from the menu. When the dialog box opens,
uncheck the “Display delete confirmation dialog "to block the confirmation
dialog box appears. Select “Do not move files to the Recycle Bin 'to skip up
the trash and delete the item completely, instantly.
Step 6
Depending on which version of
Windows you use (and the number of drives in the computer), the Properties
dialog box will include a number of different options. If you are using XP,
right click on the trash icon, to keep files and folders in the Recycle Bin,
Windows needs to borrow memory from the hard disk space, by default, Windows XP
will spend 10% of each drive on the system, the This number can be increased or
decreased by dragging the slider to the left or right. Then click OK.
Step 7
If your computer has more than
one hard disk, Windows XP can set up different amounts of space on each drive.
For example, in the photo below, you open the Properties dialog box you see two
drives attached to the computer (C and E), each drive on a separate card. To
set up space for trash on each drive, click to select the option "Configure
drives independently ", then click on each card to change the slider.
Finally click OK.
Step 8
Step 9
If you have two or more hard
disks, disk Properties dialog box will display the list in the General tab.
There is no option to specify the percent applied on all disks, you have to
click on each disk in the list and then type in the largest size in the Maximum
size box. Windows 7 and Vista will default to 5% of the capacity of each disk
to the trash. Click OK to finish.
