By default Windows XP reserves 10% of your hard drive for the bin.
you might resize individual drive or all of them globally.
Before starting, I would recommend emptying the bin first.
(Of course you should verify what you are emptying first.)
You may also want to create a Restore Point before applying this or any system changes.
Right hit the Recycle Bin icon and select Properties.
Here you might also choose to remove files immediately and not put them in the Recycle Bin at all.
I wouldn’t recommend that option however.
In this instance since I have multiple drives of various sizes I will choose to configure each drive separately.
when you land finished resizing click Apply and OK.
The size you choose is user specific.
You may want to increase the size of the Recycle Bin or turn it off completely.
The nice thing is that if your file is still in the Recycle Bin you could easily restore it.
