How to remove basket icon
If you want to disable the basket in Windows 7 or 8 (I think, the same will be in Windows 10), and at the same time, and remove the label from the desktop, this instruction will help you. All necessary actions will take a couple of minutes.

Although people are interested in how to make the basket not displayed, and the files were not deleted into it, I personally do not think that it is necessary: ​​In the case of which you can delete files, without locating to the basket, using the Shift + key combination Delete. And if they always be deleted, then one day you can regret it (I personally had and more than once).

We remove the basket in Windows 7 and Windows 8 (8.1)

The actions necessary to remove the icon of the basket from the desktop in the latest versions of Windows do not differ, except a little different interface, but the essence remains the same:

  1. Right-click on an empty desktop and select "Personalization". If there is no such item, then the article describes what to do.
    Personalization of Windows
  2. In managing Windows Personalization on the left, select "Change the desktop icons".
    Change desktop icons
  3. Remove the mark from the basket.

After you press "OK" The basket will disappear (at the same time, if you have not turned off the deletion of files into it, what I will write below, they will still be deleted to the basket, although it is not displayed).

In some versions of Windows (for example, the editorial is the initial or home base), there is no personalization item in the context menu of the desktop. However, this does not mean that you cannot remove the basket. In order to do this, in Windows 7 in the Start menu search box, start typing the word "icons", and you will see the item "Display or hiding ordinary icons on the desktop".

Desktop icons in search

In Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, use the search on the initial screen for the same way: go to the initial screen and choosing nothing, just start typing "icons" on the keyboard, and you will see the desired item in the search results, where the label of the basket is turned off.

Turning off the basket (so that the files are completely removed)

If you need that the basket is not simply not shown on the desktop, but the files were not placed in it when you delete, you can do it as follows.

  • Right-click on the basket icon, click "Properties".
  • Mark the item "destroy the files immediately after removal without placing them in the basket."
    Turn off the removal to the basket

That's all, now the deleted files can not be found in the basket. But, as I have already written above, you need to be careful with this item: there is a possibility that you delete the necessary data (and maybe not you yourself), and it will not be able to restore them, even with special data recovery programs (especially, If you have an SSD disk).
