    I'm looking for a program that'd allow me to have a recycle bin stored on an external drive that's only used for that drive.

    As I understand it in Windows 10 there's only 2 methods of using the recycling bin with an external drive, and thats 1. If it uses the main recycling bin 2. If it doesn't use any recycling bin.

    I'd like for things that I delete from the drive to be moved to a folder on the same drive, which means I just need to select Window 10's 2nd option above to achieve the same result. Does anyone know of a program, method, or alternative method to achieve what I'm looking for? Thank you

    You can create a folder on your external drive and name it something like "Recycle Bin". Then, you can use a third-party program like RecycleBinEx or MiniBin to customize the delete action for your external drive. You can set it to move the deleted files to the folder you created instead of the system recycle bin. This way, you can have a recycle bin-like functionality for your external drive.

    Cant seem to find that functionality with both of those programs unless I'm missing something
