Reduce Recycling Bin Drive Space Usage


In Windows XP the Maximum size of the Recycle Bin is set by default to 10% of your hard drive, when full, this can be a big waste of drive space. Reducing the Maximum size prevents excess space from being wasted. It is quite common to have hundreds of MBs of deleted files in the Recycling Bin and it is never emptied !.

To Reduce size >

> 1) Right-click on the "Recycle Bin" 2) Left-click on "Properties" 3) Select the "Global" tab, then "Use one setting for all drives" 4) Move the slider to "3%". and your done !
