Recycle Bin Manager is an easy-to-use app that lets you conveniently open and empty the Windows Recycle Bin.
Download the latest release here.
Recycle Bin Manager is available both as an MSI installer and a portable app.
- Empty the Recycle Bin in one click, optionally hiding the confirmation dialog
- Open the Recycle Bin folder directly within the app
- Show/hide confirmation dialog setting is persisted between sessions
- Small, lightweight, and native app written in C with the Win32 API
You will need:
- A development environment set up for building Win32 applications (I use Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition)
- The HeatWave Visual Studio extension (only if you wish to build the MSI installer)
This app would never have come to fruition without the constant support, encouragement, and ingenuity of the Handmade community.
