Recycle Bin Menu

If we right click on the Recycle Bin we have a sub-menu that appears. The menu is as shown in Figure 32.

These are the items on the menu:

• Open (this menu opens the bin)
  
  
• Explore (this option allows viewing of the bin contents)
  
  
• Empty Recycle Bin (this option empties the contents)(not an option if empty)
  
  
• Paste (this option lets us drop in a copy of information)
  
  
• Create Shortcut (this creates a shortcut to the Recycle Bin)
  
  
• Properties (this option allows us customization of bin properties)

Be sure and set the properties to a size large enough to hold most files or oversize files will be auto deleted. The bin needs to be regularly emptied. If the bin is too full once again auto delete will take place and you will not have the option to recover files.
