Whenever we delete any file/folder from our Windows system, it directly goes to Recycle Bin unless you delete them permanently(Shift+Del). And eventually, it remains in our Hard Drive only. Well, everyone knows how to empty the Recycle Bin, but we often forget to do such a simple task. We keep files on the recycle bin until we’re running out of storage space. Today we are going to tell a way with which your Recycle Bin will be emptied automatically after a certain amount of time.
Empty Recycle Bin Automatically in Windows 10

Once, Task Scheduler opens, click on the option “Create Basic task” located under the Action category.
In the task creation wizard, enter the task name and click on the Next button and then set up the time interval for your action or the task.
After clicking the Next button again and set up some other options until you reach up to the screen where you will be asked for the action.
