After
you click on the delete button, the file goes to the recycle bin, and
sometimes, you forget to delete the files from there, which takes up the space
from the same disk where your system files are located, thus decreasing the
available space.

So,
what you can do is you can make a schedule for deleting the files automatically
from the recycle bin.
In
order to do that, go to start and open task scheduler
There,
in the task scheduler library, right click and select New Folder
Name the folder My Tasks or anything like that
Right-click the
newly created folder and select Create
task On the General tab, enter a name for the task, such
as Empty
Windows Recycle Bin.
On the Triggers tab, click New to create an action that will trigger
the task
Now,
here, you can choose from different trigger actions, but for this video, we
will be selecting on a schedule
Then
fill the blanks as per your will, but since you are emptying the recycling bin,
it will be good that you consider using the weekly or monthly option.
After
that click on ok
On
the actions tab, click on NEW
Under Settings,
on Programs/script enter cmd.exe.
Under Settings,
on Add
arguments enter
the following argument and clickOK
/c "echo Y|PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -Command Clear-RecycleBin"
Then,
click on OK to complete task
Once
you have completed the steps, the task will run automatically at the trigger
condition you have configured
That is it.
