Under RECYCLED / PROPERTIES, I have the following settings....

RECYCLED/PROPERTIES/LOCAL DISK (D), (E), & (F) ... Maximum size of
Recylce Bin ( Percent of Drive ) set to ZERO %. CONFIGURE DRIVES
INDEPENDANTLY.

(C) Drive has 953MB reserved for recycle bin.

At this point on my computer, (C) drive contains over 200 deleted
files. Drives (D), (E), & (F) also contain the same over 200 deleted
files. I don't want them to show up there.

How do I get rid of the files in (D), (E), & (F), and leave ONLY files
in (C) drive?

Thanks

If you selected "Configure Drives Independently" then just select the drive
tab at the top of the screen and select the check box that says "Delete
files".

Simple.

I have done this, the files keep coming back to ALL drives when I
delete anything on C drive.

No they aren't. Viewing any recycle bin folder shows the contents for ALL drives.

R-click the Bin Icon,. Properties. Have 'Configure drives
independently' checked, then in the D etc have 'do not move files to the
Bin' checked.

But note that the bin shows all files deleted, wherever they were
deleted from. So it you open it by clicking the Recycled (or Recycler)
folder on D it will show ones deleted from C
