Auto Recycle Bin

While many of us simply clear the contents of the Recycle Bin whenever something ends up there, but it can be very useful if you want to have the option of recovering files. However, cleaning its contents regularly can be a hassle, which is why this utility might interest you.
Auto Recycle Bin is a relatively simple application designed to simplify the task of managing the Recycle Bin. It can delete items automatically after a certain time or when the Recycle Bin gets too large, while requiring almost no user input.

Removes files in the Recycle Bin based on user-defined parameters

One way you can ensure items don’t stay in the bin for too long is to set a time limit. If a file has been in the Recycle Bin for longer than that, it will be deleted automatically. Chances are, if it has been there for a very long time, you no longer need it.
Alternatively, you can set a maximum Recycle Bin size, either by entering an exact value or based on how much free disk space is available on specific drives.

Can be run manually, at startup or periodically

If you want to have more control over everything, you can choose to handle everything yourself, only processing the contents of the Recycle Bin when you run the application manually.
However, the program can also be run automatically at system startup. Once it has done its job, it will be closed until the next time your PC is restarted.
Lastly, you can have the application run in the background and process deleted items periodically. It does not have a significant resource impact, so performance shouldn’t be an issue.

Simple Recycle Bin cleaner that can definitely prove useful

At present, Auto Recycle Bin doesn’t offer an extensive array of features, but it is very easy to set up. It would have been great if more filters were available, so as to ensure no important files are deleted, as well as a way for users to control how different types of items are handled.
