Instantly reclaim 7GB of hard-drive space by adjusting the maximum recycle bin size
If you have a solid-state drive, or just a very large movie collection, you need every gigabyte of free space you can get.
Removing unnecessary applications, running disk clean-up, or deleting restore points are good ways to save space, but none of them is as effective or as easy as this overlooked tip.
When you install Windows a huge chunk of space – 7,042MB to be exact – gets set aside for your recycle bin. Windows does this so that you’ll have space to store deleted files until you decide to remove them permanently.
If you empty your recycle bin frequently you probably don’t need that much space in reserve – Set the recycle bin size to 1GB for example and you stand to save 6GB instantly.
Here’s how:
  1. Right-click on your recycle bin
  2. Click Properties
  3. Set the “Custom size” to 1,000MB
  4. Click Apply
