Windows 8.1 - Delete files without moving them to the Recycle Bin
Windows gives you the ability to delete files without moving them to the Recycle Bin.
To enable this option:
- Right-click on the Recycle Bin > Properties.

- Click on Apply.
Once this option is enabled, you won't be able to restore your deleted files (unless you use a third party software).
