The Recycle Bin in OS Windows serves to delete and temporarily store files and folders deleted by the user. If something was mistakenly deleted or the user later came to his senses and decided that he needed some file, then he can always return it through the trash. The basket has a specified and limited volume, so if the gradual filling of the established volume, old files will be permanently deleted, replaced by new arrivals. Also, if the size of the deleted file exceeds the maximum size of the recycle bin, then it will be deleted without getting into the recycle bin. You can change various settings for a shopping cart by right-clicking on it and clicking on properties. As you can see in the picture below, we can change the size of the deleted files' storage. Also, playing with the settings, you can delete files bypassing the trash and without asking the user for confirmation. Also, without additional settings, files can be deleted bypassing the trash. To do this, hold down the Shift key before pressing the Delete key.
Due to various reasons, the trash can disappear from the desktop. Below we will consider examples of how to return the trash icon to the desktop.

How to remove the inscription from the basket
This inscription just killed me all the time! Every day, day after day, year after year, I am reminded - THIS IS A BASKET!!! Not a Wardrobe or a Behemoth, but a BASKET!!! What if I forget or do not understand the picture? Such a "concern" of the creators of the operating room Windows systems very sad - they consider me a complete imbecile or a down!?
It turns out that you can easily remove this inscription from under the basket - you just need to know a tricky algorithm, after which the basket will look something like this ...
So, you need to select the basket label (for example, by clicking on it once if you have double-click enabled. I have it disabled and just hover over the label to select it) and press F2 on the keyboard. Erase the inscription. clamp Alt key and holding it, enter the number 255. Press Enter on the keyboard - that's it, there is no inscription!
One very important nuance! The number 255 must be entered in the right numeric keypad, of course, with NumLock turned on!
Hello. Today I want to tell you everything I know about the basket on the working Windows desktop 7.
At first I planned to write a small article-advice on how to delete / restore the trash from / to the desktop, but according to the “rule of the gimlet”, I screwed into the topic to the very ... ears. This rule, or rather the phenomenon, is well known to motorists - you start with a trifle, but a complete repair of the entire car comes out.
(I once changed brake pads like this - it turned out to be a replacement, in addition to the pads and calipers, a hose, tubes to the main one ... in short, I cursed everything in the world, it was better to contact the service, it would have come out cheaper, saved it, damn it!)
So that's what I'll describe to you today - how to delete or restore the recycle bin, how to rename it, how to remove the recycle bin label, how to pin the recycle bin to the start menu or taskbar, how to replace the recycle bin icon ... Of course, all this is step by step, in detail and in pictures!

One nuance! If you replace the trash icon in this way, it will stop updating automatically.
