How to disable Recycle Bin in Window XP

Some of us just have the habit of wanting files to be deleted immediately rather then having the deleted files piling up in the recycle bin.So here's the trick on how to disable the recycle bin and delete unwanted files immediately.I'm going to list the guides step by step so as it will be clear for everyone.

1.Go to the 'Start Button' on your desktop.

 

2. Click on 'RUN'.

  

3. A box will appear upon clicking 'RUN'.

   

4. Type 'gpedit.msc' in the box and Press the 'ENTER' Key.

   

5. After pressing the 'ENTER' Key,a 'Group Policy' Window will open.

    

6. Navigate to ‘User Configuration’ > ‘Administrative Templates’ > ‘Windows Components’ > ‘Windows Explorer’

   

7. On the right hand side of the window, Scroll down till you see '‘ Do not move deleted files to Recycle bin ‘.
Double Click on it. 

 

8. An Option Window will open and check the 'Enable' option. So you are done and you can close all the Open Windows.

Note: While disabling this option can save you time and few mouse clicks, However you should be very cautious and keep in mind that if you choose to delete any file on your computer it will no longer be available in Recycle Bin and will be deleted immediately and there is no way to restore it back like you can do with having Recycle enabled.Hope you find this tutorial clear and helpful.
