| Purpose: | Delete files in the recycle bin or display the recycle bin status |
| Format: | RECYCLE [/= /D /E /Q /P] [drives ...] |
| drives | Local fixed and removable (non CD-ROM / DVD) drives |
Usage:
If you don't specify any drives, RECYCLE will display the recycle bin status, or if /D is specified delete everything in the recycle bin for all local drives.
RECYCLE will empty the recycle bin for an entire drive; there is no way to specify individual files.
Options:
| /= | Display the RECYCLE command dialog to help you set the command line options. The /= option can be anywhere on the line; additional options will set the appropriate fields in the command dialog. |
| /E | Suppress all non-fatal error messages, such as "File Not Found." Fatal error messages, such as "Drive not ready," will still be displayed. This option is most useful in batch files. |
