Problem With Recycle Bin

[ranick]

I'can change the size of the recycle bin. I have tried right clicking on the
recycle icon and then on the Global tab. I then click "Use one setting for
all drives" and then set the slide bar at 10% and click apply and OK. My HD
is 160 gigs so I should end up with about 16 gigs of recycle space, yet it
only shows 3.99 gigs available. I have also tried to configure the drives
independently and end up with the same result. If I delete something that
exceeds the limit a previously deleted file is removed from the recycle bin
to make space.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How much free space do you have on the drive? Size of the drive does not matter, if you have low free space you will have issues.

I have the same thing on winXP. drive of 140Gb, set to 10%, capacity available only at 4Gb instead of 14Gb. I think it's a windows default max recycle bin size. I mean realistically there shouldn't be a need to keep files that huge after you deleted them...
