Configuring Your Recycle Bin to Auto Delete

Recycle bin is a special folder that stores deleted files or folders. A recycle bin is located at the desktop. The reason for recycle bin is to retrieve mistakenly deleted files, but to me I feel that a deleted file is a deleted file so why wasting time and disk space? You can delete this file manually but at times we forget to delete it ourselves and frankly speaking, it takes up disk space.

With this short tutorial, I am going to show you the easy way to set your recycle bin to always delete automatically by editing your windows registry.

HOW TO SET YOUR RECYCLE BIN TO ALWAYS DELETE

Click on “Start” icon then go to “Run” and type “Regedit” in the provided box and tap enter.

It will take you to your registry panel, here locate the: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Explorer\BitBucket.

Here in right side panel, double click on “NukeOnDelete” and set its value to 1. Now close the registry editor and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

That is the simple trick to change your recycle bin to always delete. You can share your thought with the comment box below.
