Empty Recycle Bin

Empty Recycle Bin is a handy little command-line tool that does exactly what it sounds like: it empties the Recycle Bin. This is perfect for anyone who loves using command-line parameters.

Why Use Command-Line Tools?

Now, most of us are used to clicking around in graphical interfaces to get things done. But some folks prefer typing commands in a Command Prompt window because it's quick and efficient.

Lightweight and Easy to Use

The cool thing about command-line tools like Empty Recycle Bin is that they usually don’t hog system resources. Plus, you don’t even have to install it! It won’t clutter up your Windows registry or create extra files on your hard drive without you knowing. Just delete the file when you're done, and it's gone!

Portable Utility

You can even save Empty Recycle Bin on a USB flash drive or an external hard drive. That way, you can use it on any computer with zero fuss!

How to Get Started

To empty your Recycle Bin, just run the executable file. If you check out the help documentation, you'll find the command-line syntax for skipping those annoying "Are you sure?" prompts and progress bars. You can also see how to display syntax right in the Command Prompt.

A Few Things to Note

Keep in mind that Empty Recycle Bin hasn’t been updated for quite a while now, so it might not work perfectly on newer operating systems. However, users have found that it still works great on Windows 7! Just be aware that Windows NT5 and 95 need Active Desktop to function properly.
