    Does anyone know of a free software that I can use to delete files from the recycle bin, or any other way to delete these files?

    On most computers that I know of, you just right click the recycle bin and then click "Empty Recycle Bin".
    I don't think you should need any software or anything.

    CCleaner is a good option, or even you can find the hidden recycled bin folder in your computer and clean it from there. It's up to you.

    Wow, this is by far the funniest question I have ever read about technical problems... Unless you are extremely bad at expressing stuff in English...

    But just right-click your Recycle Bin and click 'empty recycle bin', or if you want to remove specific files, open the Recycle Bin and right click the file you want to delete and click 'delete'

    Note that the Recycle Bin is not a very secure way to remove files, as it can be recovered easily.

    Why should someone need even a software for such actions since it can easily be completed in just 2 steps !!!

    I would even recommend using Disk cleanup which will not only clean up recycle bin...but will also remove temp. files from your pc...

    Hey....

    You can just RIGHT CLICK on the recycle bin icon and then DELETE the files by clicking on the " EMPTY RECYCLE BIN".

    Also, you can directly remove/delete a file from without it going to the Recycle Bin by pressing SHIFT+DELETE .

    I enabled Do not move files to the Recycle Bin on Recycle Bin Properties. I like remove files immediately when deleted.

    Its rather easier and safer to just empty the recycle bin instead. You can easily retrieve files that were accidentally been deleted. Besides it only involves 2 clicks! :)

    Best is using cCleaner to clean up all the junk on your computer and it clears the ReCycle Bin also.

    There's a software but can't you do "right click and select EMPTY RECYCLE BIN"? As easy as 1-2-3

    for your need, i suggest TuneUp Utilities 2006

    right click on recycle bin and click on "Empty recycle bin"

    and if u r no need for file then why u r send to recycle bin, use "shift+del" to delete file permanently or u can use recycle bin option to delete file permanently directly.

    thanks.
