If in Windows, you want to stop your Recycle Bin from taking up storage on your drive, or stop anyone from recovering your erased data, there is a fast and easy way to bypass your Recycle Bin and go straight to permanent delete with unwanted files/folders. Here’s how:

– Click on the file/folder you want to delete.

– Hold down Shift before you hit the Delete key.

– Hit Delete. 

– You will still get the confirmation question.

– That’s it!
