Using a built-in feature called Storage Sense, you can save disk space by setting Windows 10 to automatically delete files of a certain age located in your Recycle Bin every day, week, or month. Here's how to configure it.
When you delete a file in Windows, it doesn't disappear permanently. In fact, it goes into the trash. This is the first place you should look if you accidentally delete a file. But the files continue to take up disk space. And over time, it can take up quite a bit of storage.
We showed you how to limit the amount of disk space used by the Recycle Bin (which works on all versions of Windows). But now with Windows 10, the company has a new utility that makes keeping your drive clean much easier. And it includes the recycle bin.
Even though you probably already know how to empty the trash, you often forget to do such a simple task. Then, only when you run out of space do you follow the steps to manually empty the Trash to permanently delete all its contents.
Although there are many ways to configure the Recycle Bin in Windows 10 (and previous versions), emptying the Recycle Bin on time is not one of them.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to automatically empty the Recycle Bin using Task Scheduler to keep your hard drive space optimized, while giving you plenty of time to recover deleted files.
First, launch “Settings” by opening the “Start Menu” and clicking the “gear” icon on the left. You can also tap WindowsI to quickly open Settings. In Settings, click the “System” icon, then click “Storage”.
This tutorial will apply to computers, laptops, desktops and tablets running Windows 10 (Home, Pro, Business, Education) operating system from all supported hardware manufacturers, such as Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo and Samsung. .
