How do I empty my recycle bin? what are the settings?

My recycle bin is set to trash all that's in every 24 hours. I don't want that! I want to be able to decide which items will be deleted and send the saved item to a folder.

Can i get back photos which i deleted from trash

Hi,

Unfortunately, anything deleted from the system goes to Recycle Bin, and everything on the Recycle Bin can be "Restored". However, if you deleted it from Recycle Bin (Emptied Recycle Bin) those files can no longer be retrieved. It is like a permanent deletion of files.

After removing the movies from my flip video camcorder it says camcorder empty, but the time left says 00:00. If I try to record it says camcorder full.

Your videos may still be in the Recycle Bin/Trash. Try plugging the device back in to your computer, then check the Recycle Bin to see if the movies are there. If they are, delete them from the Recycle Bin (or empty the bin completely) and they will be permanently removed from the device.

I can't empty my trash folder

google recycle bin in DOS..there are some programs you can download to empty the recycle bin from the DOS prompt. The only other suggestion is to reinstall windows. Sounds like you got some corrupted programs.

Cannon empty recycle bin. the command line to recycle is not "highlighted" and when clicked, nothing happens. does that mean there is nothing in the bin to be recycled?

Try logging off or rebooting if your trash appears to have something in it. (looks like paper in the trash bin)

Sometimes windows does this, nothing wrong with your PC, it's just plain microsoft!
