    Hi! On my Win11/64 laptop, I have a RAM drive that's full of clutter and want to delete some information but don't want it to be in the Recycle Bin: I want it to be removed totally. I don't need to wipe the files, as I'm the only one who uses the laptop: I just don't want it to clutter the Recycle Bin. How do I do it?

    Shift+Delete deletes files completely, without putting them in the Recycle Bin. Is this what you want?

    right click on the recycle bin and click properties you should see the following pop up check dont move files to recycle bin delete immediately. That way any files you delete they wont ever go in the recycle bin. you need to do this for every drive installed in your pc.
