How To Delete Files Automatically From Recycle Bin

 
Whenever you delete any kind of a file, what according to you happens to it? Do you presume that the file is permanently deleted? No, whenever a file is deleted either by hitting the Delete key or right-clicking on file and then clicking on Delete option, it doesn’t get deleted permanently. On the contrary, it only gets moved to the Recycle Bin, so that it can be recovered anytime if required.  Files residing in the Recycle Bin occupies space and leads to a sluggish PC. However, emptying the Recycle Bin regularly can recover the space which is unnecessarily occupied by the files residing in it.
You can manually empty the trash from Recycle Bin by deleting all its content to free up space. But why choose the difficult part when an easy way is there. Why not just automate the job?
