Multi Trash

Multi Trash is a small and very practical desktop gadget that enhances Recycle Bin's functionality by permanently deleting and shredding files, apart from just recycling them (which otherwise makes room for restoration). It creates a secondary trash bin on the desktop and lets users easily toggle the deletion method.

The trash bin has a larger size than the traditional Recycle Bin and, since it's a widget, it can be moved to any position on the desktop.

Thanks to the default Windows options which are applicable to most gadgets, users can make Multi Trash's frame stay on top of other windows to easily eliminate data when navigating Explorer directories, for instance. Plus, the frame's opacity can be adjusted to make the tool less intrusive.

Multi Trash comes with its own set of customization settings as well. Since the deletion method can be selected by clicking the window's arrows, users may personalize the glass color for each bin type (recycler, deleter and shredder), in order to identify them quickly when multitasking.

The size of the bin can be decreased when it is docked or undocked. Moreover, Multi Trash can be set to ask for confirmation when recycling files, as well as to automatically delete and shred data, without checking with the user first. All settings can be restored to their default values at any time.

As expected, the app has minimal impact on PC performance, running on low CPU and RAM. We have not come across any issues throughout our tests, since it did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. To sum it up, Multi Trash delivers a quick and easy method for permanently removing or shredding data, aside from recycling it.
