MrGreen Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Right-click your Recycle Bin and select “Properties.”Locate the external drive on which you want to disable/enable the Recycle Bin and select it.Click the “Don’t Move Files to the Recycle Bin. Remove Files Immediately When Deleted” to disable or / "Set Custom Size" and set a size to enable . Click “OK” to save your settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 If you can't find the deleted files from the external HDD in the recycle bin when the HDD is still connected, then in the recycle bin's property, the highlighted option in the image below, may found selected. Select your HDD and uncheck the option to get the files back next time when you delete files.If you can't find the deleted files from the external HDD in the recycle bin when the HDD is disconnected, reconnect the HDD to get them in recycle bin.
