This is a great metaphor for real life. If you get rid of the recycle bins, people will start littering everywhere, and it eventually becomes so littered that a ton of recycle bins need to be installed to accommodate it, leaving you with way more recycle bins than you would've had if you just kept them in the first place.

Windows file explorer horror is not something i thought I'd see today

[@jwhite5008]

1) you can easily hide the bin from desktop via tweaker or registry edit 2) you can disable binning files in explorer through recycle bin properties - DEL will permanently delete files then 3) you can delete recycle bin folder. It will be recreated, unless you place a file with same name. In that case attempts to bin files will fail and Windows typically suggests deleting them permanently instead. This is particularly useful on flash drives that have limited size - you may accidentally delete a large file which will still take space in the bin. This may lead to errors in some programs but combined with option 2 is not that problematic.
