Is there any way to find the Number of bytes in the Recycle Bin?

Here's one way.
If hard drive is NTFS formatted:
Start | Run | Type: \RECYCLER | Click OK |
Click on the Folders button at the top to show the tree view |
Right click the RECYCLER folder in the left hand pane and select Properties|
Look for Size
If hard drive is FAT32 formatted:
Start | Run | Type: \RECYCLED | Click OK |
Click on the Folders button at the top to show the tree view |
Right click the RECYCLED folder in the left hand pane and select Properties|
Look for Size
With the method above, it does not matter if files or folders are Hidden.

Recycle Bin RECYCLER
%systemdrive%\RECYCLER\Your SID # is YOUR Recycle Bin.
This is MY SID #
S-1-5-21-1708537768-15xx36667-1202660629-1003
This is MY Recycle Bin
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1708537768-15xx36667-1202660629-1003
For me, looking in
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1708537768-15xx36667-1202660629-1003
is the same thing as me looking in the Recycle Bin on my Desktop. Both
folders contain the same deleted items.
Each hard disk or partition contains a hidden folder named Recycler. The
Recycler folder is used only on NTFS partitions. On FAT32 the RECYCLED
folder is used. The Recycler folder contains a Recycle Bin for each user
that logs on to the computer, sorted by their security identifier (SID).
Windows allocates one Recycle Bin for each partition or hard disk. If your
hard disk is partitioned, or if you have more than one hard disk in your
computer, you can specify a different size for each Recycle Bin.
%systemdrive%\RECYCLER
With at least one folder with the SID #
for every user on the machine.
If there is only one user, then there is only one
SID # folder. That SID # folder is the Recycle Bin.
Security identifiers (SIDs) are numeric values that identify a user or
group.

Right click on the recycle bin and then choose properties. From that
dialogue box you can choose the percentage of the drive (s) to determine the
bins capacity.

When I clocked on start, run, and typed recycler, I got a message sayingWesley said:
Windows could not find recycler. My partitions are NTFS formatted.

There is an essential difference between the two.

Open your recycle bin, click on view then put a check next to status bar.
At the bottom of the window it should tell you .
