Remove deleted files Immediately and skip the recycle bin; Personally I do not like to use the recycle bin feature that is built into Windows. I would rather have deleted files automatically removed from my PC when I select the option to delete them.
Knowing that I am probably not the only one who feels this way, I have devised the following simple tutorial.
How to Permanently Delete Files and Skip the Recycle Bin
To permanently remove or delete files on a Windows computer without moving them to the Recycle Bin:
- Right click the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and select Properties
- From the Recycle Bin Properties menu, check the box that says "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted"
- Click Apply
From now on, when you delete a file it is automatically removed from your computer completely bypassing the recycle bin.
