Recycle Bin

[Guest]

How do I empty the recycle bin for all users? When I log onto a server I can
only affect my recycle bin but not other users. I need to be able to clean
up after people and the recycle bin is where there is quite of bit of waste.

Users would'nt have files stored in the servers Recycle Bin, only
administrators would hae files stored in the server Recycle Bin.

I appreciate the feedback, but I am talking about administrative users, also
on a terminal server all remote users effect the recycle bin.

If you want to do a quick and total cleanup, open a command prompt and
enter

rd /s \Recycler

That will, after confirmaition, delete the folder used by the Recycle Bin
and all of its contents. Windows will create a new folder when it's next
needed.
