Forcefully Empty the Recycle Bin for All Users in Windows

msteinbach — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 13:52:36 +0000

Only real way to empty the Recycle Bin for all users on a computer is to completely remove the Recycle Bin directory from the PC. This will delete all files in the Recycle Bin for all users, and then Windows will just recreate the directory when it is needed again.

For Windows 7 or Server 2008 run this command from the command prompt:
rd /s c:\$Recycle.Bin
For Windows XP or Server 2003 run this command from the command prompt:
rd /s c:\recycler

Mozy Backup

msteinbach — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:14:26 +0000

I recommend!

Great online backup program.

Just load the app, pick what you want to backup and your good to go!

If you need to restore deleted documents you can log on, and do a web restore for free.

I get 2 GB of 100% free backup space.

If you want to try it follow this link, this way I get credit for the referral.

Any question, let me know!
