Recycle+Bin+Storage+percentage

It is not commonly known that your computer is set to reserve 10% of your discs s[ace for the recycle bin contents, and yes discs, if you have more than one disc they are all allocated the same percentage. Wow all that hard drive space going to waste. However, before you adjust/alter this status first establish how you normally work. For example do you forget to empty the bin for weeks? Would it be important if you could not retain your deletions from the Bin ? The reasons I ask these questions is that if you reduce the size of the Bin and it becomes full a new deletion does not go into the Bin but is lost forever, So as you will understand that it is advisable to exercise good housekeeping and empty the rubbish bin regularly as you do with the one under the sink. Accepting the above here is how to alter the size :- Right-click the Recycle Bin on the Desktop ( Not one you may have on your Taskbar that is a shortcut ). Select Properties The first window that opens shows you the Global setting, with tabs for additional drives even where those drives are logical ( The term “logical” is used, because there may be only one drive that has been formatted into portions). This Global window will show 10% To change it drag the down arrow to the left and watch the percentage change 2 or 3 % should be adequate. Above the bar the radio button ( The dot in the circle )will be in the box labeled :- “ Use only one setting for all drives” That needs changing so place the radio button in the box :- “Configure drives independently”. The bottom section will then be grayed out. In this window to you can elect to do away with the pop-up message which as you are you sure when you elect to empty the Bin.
 * Recycle Bin Storage percentage **

Now click Drive C tab and set your percentage and click Apply Next Click Drive D tab and you can as I have done set it to zero and obviously click Apply Wow ! all that extra storage space Yippee!
