Deleting a file completely without sending to Recycle Bin

If you have sensitive files on your computer that you need to delete immediately and completely without going to the Recycle Bin, it is possible by changing the setting of the Recycle Bin. This is the same case when you delete a file or folder that is too big to fit in the Recycle Bin.

In Windows, when you delete a folder that is very big, by default, Windows deletes that folder permanently if it is too big to fit in the Recycle Bin. But if the allotted size or space for the Recycle Bin is still big enough to hold the big folder, Windows will not delete it permanently but instead will store it in the Recycle Bin.

This is a good way to restore files you have deleted before when you need it. On the other hand, if you want to delete a file or folder permanently regardless of their size without going to the Recycle Bin, the solution is to adjust the setting of the bin. On your desktop, right-click the Recycle Bin and select “Properties”.

In the properties window, select the drive to which you want to apply the setting. Next, under “Settings for selected location”, select “Don’t move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted.” If you want to be prompted each time you delete something, check “Display delete confirmation dialog”. When you are finished, click “OK”.
