Deleting huge files
I work with huge data files (about 500 MB), and my system has a 3.2GHz Intel
with 1 GB of RAM. I cannot delete these files after I have finished archiving them to DVDs. How do I increase the size of the Recycle bin so that I can delete them? |

How do I increase the size of the Recycle bin so that I can delete them? Hit Shift-delete....that will bypass the bin and zap them permanently. Patrick |

However, if that's not really what you want to do, to answer your original question, right-click the "Recycle Bin" icon on your desktop, select "Properties" and change the "Maximum size of Recycle Bin ...". |

The problem is the OP asked the wrong compound question-- which you dutifully answered! The objective is to get rid of the file which he archived to DVD. Putting it in the bin is only an unnecessary intermediate step. Hitting shift-delete is more efficient and therefore a better solution. Suppose he said he needed to get from his home in New York to a meeting in Chicago ASAP and did you know a cheap gas station where he could fill up on his way through Atlanta. The correct answer isn't the Quick Trip at the corner of Peachtree and Piedmont Rd-- but to tell him to head west, not south. See whadda' mean, Vern ;-) Patrick |
