Bypass the Recycle Bin when deleting files and folders

This tweak deletes files and folders permanently as they just bypass Recycle Bin completely.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista

Description:

The Recycle Bin saves all the files or folders, which have been removed by the user after using them. So, it gets piled up. These files and folders can also be restored back, if required at later stage. Sooner or later, it must also be cleared otherwise space problem will added.

This setting just bypasses Recycle Bin. Therefore, it remains clear always and the files, even if required very urgently later, can not be restored back.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, create a DWORD value name “NoRecycleFiles”, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value data box with “1” to enable the setting.

Click “OK” and close the registry editor.

After logoff or system restart, changes take effect.
