I love how so much of Windows's eccentricities is basically "Some dude in 1987 coded it that way on on the fly as a temporary measure, and now it's a core feature of the infrastructure THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED."
One thing you were close to pointing out that emptying recycle bin only empties files that you deleted within your login, even when you have administrator privileges. So if there's say 100gb of deleted files but you only deleted 10gb of those, the rest deleted by other users on that system, you'll only recover 10gb of disk space when you empty the recycle bin. Can drive you nuts when managing servers, particularly RDS servers.
Thanks for the video. I am immediately going to enable RECYCLE BIN for my removable drive. I’ve deleted from my back up media and then regretted it. So thank you🎉
Still love the Win7 bin. Mainly because I've never been a fan of the entire internet taking on this flat 2D look to it (I believe it's called the Metro style?). I miss the days when everything had this glossy/glassy finish to it and webpages had buttons that looked like they had depth and shine to them. Everything has been so flat and square for so long, I didn't expect it to stick around for as long as it has.
I believe many outdated icons will remain in that .dll forever, because in a modern setup they weigh practically nothing and someone somewhere might have set up some kind of dependency on them
@@AdriethylNot gonna lie though, I want them to stay that way forever. It's a reminder of the history of the OS and it looks so pixel-perfect crisp, so much cleaner than modern aliased icons.
@@Adriethyl You mean DOS-era icons? Windows 98 was the last major windows release to use the pre-NT DOS-based kernel. Modern windows is the NT-kernel, and has been since Win2000 IIRC.
@@Adriethyl except you didn't know how those might be used. It isn't uncommon to use SHELL32.dll or MOREICONS.dll icons for an application. If Microsoft changed the existing icons, then they might be breaking a third party. Like Unicode ghost characters, ⍼ for example, you might be able to add a new icon to those files, but once there they can't be removed or changed; in the name of backwards compatibility.
I had a Win 98 computer with two hard drives years ago; I learned the hard way to use the "Empty Recycle Bin" button or menu item rather than manually deleting files from the Recycle Bin, because by manually deleting the files, Windows would just move them to the recycle bin on the other drive; I was literally shuffling deleted files back and forth between the Recycle Bins on the two drives. I wonder if that "bug" still exists.
6:40 red X in the corner of an icon is a code for "destination not available". Probably for rare cases of disk failures where the recycle bin gets corrupted and can't be accessed.
The maximum size for the Recycle Bin isn't just for one file. It is for the total size of everything you're deleting at one time. Yes, one file over that size will trigger the warning, but two or more smaller files or a folder full of small files that combine to exceed the maximum size will also trigger the warning.
I swear to god the max capacity setting used to work as described back in the Windows 7 days and before. I've accidentally lost files I didn't intend to that way by accidentally deleting an entire directory and not being able to restore all of it. I wonder if Microsoft decided to change the behavior without renaming the setting?
This setting was and is for the total size of all files in the bin. Author is wrong. It is, however, setting per drive, so if you select drive C in the list and set "100Mb", it means that it will collect the total of 100Mb on drive C, and will delete older recycled files on drive C. It's not, and never been, a setting per file.
A thing to note, recycle bin functions normally you press "del" on file in an external HDD. Have to press "shift+del" to permanently delete files from an ext. HDD. And if you didn't notice, win98 & win10 bitbins icon look similar, save for the ♻️ logo . My personal favorite is the Vista/7 icon, maybe coz Win 7 was the 1st os I ever used in a home setting.
My favorite is 0:21 "Don't move files to the recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted." and the keyboard shortcut "shift+del(delete)" keys that's been a part of Windows since they had a recycling bin in it… I knew about it from Windows 3.1/3.11 but it might have been since 1.0 or something as even Macintosh and any Apple II(more likely the IIGS) computer with a GUI OS had a recycling bin…
My favorite icon is definitely Win2000, because cyan is my favorite color and I like the way it's used for the color scheme. Plus the bin itself looks cool in a retro futuristic fashion.
Interesting video ThioJoe, especially for less experienced PC Users. And yes, I still have a personal liking for the Vista/Windows 7 Recycle Bin Icon(s), and saved it & others, so I could still use it to this very day on my Windows 11 PC.
I hope in future updates we'll get the option to show Recycle Bin in the system tray🤞 Currently i'm using program called *MiniBin* and it works like a charm👌 _of course i rather have it as default in windows_
Thank you, I did not know the max size was for files and not whole bin, I always put it to very very big and that I will change. Once more time thank you!
Finally a good video. Good video Thio! I'll watch the one about the notepad because it's staring at me and I think it'll be interesting and most likely like it. 👍🖐🏼
I once set up Recycle Bin icon to Kirby. Also I knew that the logic behind the Recycle Bin is more or less like what you explained. I didn't know the details, but I knew these files remain in their locations until you actually empty the recycle bin. Btw, because I don't want to have any icons on the desktop, I actually set up shortcut to recycle bin itself. I used to do that as toolbar in the taskbar since Vista or Seven (not sure which one of those), but now I use Fences to have it in one of the fence. The only issue is that the icon doesn't refresh regularly and I can't press F5 to refresh it either.
I was downloading Sims 4 cc a while ago and instead of the item I was trying to download, something else started downloading. I don't know if I miss-clicked an ad or what. I stopped the download at the browser and deleted the file, then I went to the recycle bin to get rid of it, my recycle bin got corrupted! I ended up having to delete the whole recycle bin and bring it back. Thankfully, someone had posted instructions on UA-cam.
Another Windows folder worthy of a short video is the Downloads folder. I never (intentionally) download anything to the downloads folder. But, it is still full of stuff that I downloaded and stored elsewhere. You can put a time limit on that folder as well so that it gets cleared regularly. Gawd only knows how much space is being taken up on your drive by this folder because the default setting is set to never delete anything automatically.
I remember using the Downloads folder on windows 7, but I haven't used it in years because opening that damn folder on my W10 PC causes File Explorer to freeze and crash ~80% of the time.
I never use the downloads folder. I download files to the RAMdisk (R drive) extract them if they're zips or rars then move the extracted files to the correct folder on my NAS. The RAMdisk is much faster than any HDD or SSD for manipulating files and doesn't wear out like an SSD would.
I have a cool subject for a video that i haven't seen on your channel yet. Windows DaRT from the MDOP set of tools. It's sort of like a Microsoft sanctioned version of Hiren's bootcd.
I wish there was a way to preview something before removing it from the Recycle Bin. I use a Windows computer at work from time to time. Mostly to input my time or look up things. I also use it to reconcile my credit card once a month. Occasionally I need a receipt that got deleted and they all have similar names. It would be great if I could preview something when digging through the trash so that I don't have to recover everything with a similar name until I find what I am looking for.
I've always enjoyed the newer icons as each version of Windows came out, I remember installing Windows 98 for the first time after Windows 95 and seeing the new icons. :D
Actually, it's not technically for one file, but for the total amount of data you're deleting at once. If you want to delete a number of files at once or if you have a folder to delete, say a file of dashcam videos, and the total size is over the threshold it will give you the pop-up warning.
My favourite is the win 7 bin. Another thing i see is that sometimes when i delete files made by Acronis 17 boot disk they disappear immediately. This is something to do with the file properties itself i think but they always work properly.
The dumbest thing they did in Windows Vista was if you right clicked on the recycle bin there was a delete option however if you clicked the delete option it just removed the icon entirely. Windows Vista was such a dumpster fire back then but compared to Windows 8, 10 and 11 it was an excellent operating system.
Something that can be added here is the fix for the recycle bin icon not refreshing (after playing with different themes for Windows). The fix is to add ,0 after the ico extension for the empty and the full values in the file path here HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\DefaultIcon. There is an article named "Fix Recycle Bin not Refreshing in Windows" on tenforums.

8:30 is seems like its appearance in the registry describing a bit bucket, explains its purpose. Each file in the recycle bin seems to be turned into a bitbucket which has a maximum size as specified. 🤷

It's the most good looking for me.
If they were real you'd find them in Apple Stores.
Wish I could find where to download these icons from.
it also just looks the most realistic out of all the icons used.
@princegoatcheese9379 In reality it only costs 39.99 at Target. (I checked)
The Vista/7 icon is my favorite. Clear and neat. It might be funny to say but I like the clean trash can look.

You can also hold shift whilst holding delete in file explorer to discard a file permanently without moving it to the recycle bin
