Win10 completely empty the recycle bin to release the hard disk space

Xiaobian accidentally found that the capacity of the E disk on his computer has shrunk a lot, nearly two G, but Xiaobian found E disk properties and all files of the E disk (included All hidden files) properties display inconsistent sizes. What is the embarrassing situation?

▲E disk all file attributes

▲E disk attributes

Because E disk is not the system partition, except The recycle bin (the recycle bin is emptied) is outside the system folder. The other files are their own personal files. The size of the personal files is certainly not wrong, so this is caused by not completely clearing the recycle bin.

Open the Recycle Bin folder and find that there are many folders with names like S-1-5-xxxx, as shown below.

Double-click on the folder, the system prompt you ruthless & ldquo; I do not move, you do not have permission to & rdquo ;.! Sample, can this stump me? Hurry up and take out the Rubik's Cube compression (to open it as an administrator), then open each folder in the Recycle Bin in the Rubik's Cube compression to see exactly. Sure enough, in one of the folders, I really found two big guys, and the space occupied by the two guys is basically the same as the lost space. Look at the picture below, in order to protect the personal privacy file name, it will be mosaic.

▲Use Rubik's Cube to compress folders that require administrator privileges

Originally, each time you install Windows or create a new account, a new folder will be created for each partition. As the recycle bin for the current user. The string of numbers in the recycle bin's name is random, which is different from the name of the recycle bin folder you created earlier. If you forget to empty the Recycle Bin before reinstalling the system, as long as you don't format or delete the partition, the files that you have forgotten in the Recycle Bin will always exist.

After reading this tutorial, have friends learned new tricks, and the trash can be completely removed next time. Friends and friends in the process of operation, there are problems, you can also interact with the Xiaobian message.
