Remove the Recycle Bin Via Group Policy

KB ID 0000463 

Problem

You might ask “why would I want to do this?” But if your users do not have access to local drives, then nothing’s going to get put in the recycle bin anyway, so it’s one less thing they can fiddle with.

Solution

1. On your domain controller , Start > Administrative Tools > Group Policy Management Console > Either create a new policy and link it to your targeted USERS or edit an existing one, then navigate to:

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Desktop

Locate the setting “Remove Recycle bin form the desktop”.

gpo recycle bin

2. Set it to enabled.

group policy hide recycle bin

3. Then either reboot the clients, wait a couple of hours, or manually run “gpupdate /force” on them.
