Recycle Bin provides temporary storage for files deleted from a computer’s hard disk. These deleted files may vary from deleted desktop shortcuts, Office documents, Applications, Movie files, etc. The space utilized to store the deleted items in the Recycle Bin is specified in Megabyte. The default size of Windows Recycle Bin is around 10 percent of the hard disk drive, but it can be changed per the user’s needs.
