Recycle Bin, in the computer, is a special collection of garbage folder, all the files processed on the disk, in general, will go to the Recycle Bin (which is directly removed except). If the file is deleted directly, the disk space is released, if it is processed to the Recycle Bin, the file is not cleared, the disk space is not released, but the file is not transferred to the Recycle Bin folder.
By default, the maximum size of the Recycle Bin is 10% of the partition disk, and somehow the maximum size becomes 50%, and the slider is grayed out to make changes to it, as shown below, how to solve this strange problem?
Method One: Resolve by Group Policy
1, the recycling station can not adjust the size, most of the system is set up a problem, as long as the largest size to change back to solve the problem. Workaround, open the Run program from the Start menu, and then enter the Gpedit.msc command in the Run box to determine.
2, will enter the Group Policy Editor window, first in the directory on the left, find the "Administrative Templates" under User Configuration, and then open its subkeys.
3, after entering the subkey, then open Windows Components, and from its subkeys, locate and select Windows Explorer.
4. To the right window of Windows Explorer, drag the scroll bar to the bottom to find the maximum allowable size for the Recycle Bin, double-click the item to open its Properties window.
5. In the general interface of the Properties window, the current status is enabled, and its maximum Recycle Bin size value is 50, that is, the Recycle Bin size is 50% of the partition disk.
6, this is to set the size of the Recycle Bin, if you want to set to other values, such as 20%, you can set the "Maximum Recycle Bin size" value to "20" can be. If you want to default to the system setting value (the system defaults to 10%), you do not need to set up, change "enabled" to "Not Configured", then press "Apply" to save, press "OK" to exit the window, set to complete.
7, in order to see the solution effect, and then go back to the Recycle Bin, and then right in the blank, select the right menu of the "Properties" of this entry.
8, into the Recycle Bin Properties window, select "Global" this item, then found that the following font is not gray, the adjustment of the maximum size of the Recycle Bin can be adjusted, is the system default value of 10%, everything back to normal.
