How to Change Recycle Bin Storage Size in Windows 10
Anytime you delete a file in Windows 10, it goes directly to the Recycle Bin. However, these files are here until you reach the maximum size limit of the bin and then it automatically deletes the oldest files in the bin to make space for new files.
If you want to increase the amount of storage Recycle Bin can use to keep deleted files, here is how to do it:
STEP 1: Right-click the Recycle Bin icon, and select the Properties option.
STEP 2: Select the Recycle Bin location from the options available.
STEP 3: Under the Settings for selected location section, select Custom size option.
STEP 4: In the Maximum size (MB) field, specify the maximum hard drive space in megabyte that Recycle Bin can use on the partition. NOTE: You can set the maximum size in MB (1024 MB = 1 GB) for storage you want.
STEP 5: Now, click the Apply button.
STEP 6: Click the OK button.
That’s all. Your Recycle Bin can store more or fewer files, depending on what you specified.
