Comment: Many users on my computer put large files in the recycle bin but do not empty it. As a result the drive is almost full. Is there a way for an administrator to empty other users' recycle bins?

Reply: I'm not sure if an administrator can do that or not. You can do two things though. One is to set the recycle bin to a lower percentage or higher percentage of the drive capacity. The second is to have deleted files bypass the recycle bin. Both options are in the properties for the bin.
