Right click on recycle bin and select Propertes.

You might have it set to "Remove files automaticly when deleated"

If you have then just uncheck the box.

I tried that all seems to be right.

Could this be scheduled to delete? if so how do i check it out?

Did the "Remove files automaticly when deleated" box have a tick in it already?

Im not sure if the Recycle bin can be scheduled to delete in any other way that selecting "Remove files automaticly when deleated"so i couldnt tell you sorry.

Make sure the "Remove files automaticly when deleated" option hant got a tick next to it.

I dont think that will make ant differance because that slider only adjusts how much space your giving recycle bin.

All you would have done by adjusting that slider is giving the bin more space.

Im sorry i couldnt help you more.
