Sort and search trash efficiently

Most of the time, you no longer need the contents of the trash. As soon as you search for something in it, the alphabetical order of the file names is not very helpful. With the Freeware RecycleBinEx, you can ensure more order and a more efficient search in the trash.

Clean up the trash with RecycleBinEx

RecycleBinEx can be downloaded here for free. After the simple installation, start RecycleBinEx. The contents of all waste paper baskets on the system are clearly listed there.

• By clicking on the individual column headers, you can sort the display in ascending or descending order according to this property. With chronological sorting according to the time of deletion, this list is even automatically grouped.
• The filter field in the upper window area is suitable for searching for specific data. The list is updated automatically as you type. For example, by entering "tif" you can quickly find all deleted graphics files of this type.
• Regardless of the current sorting, older content can be selected and marked under "Select All" depending on the time. The "Delete" button then deletes these elements without further request. However, there is no way to restore it here. You still have to use the normal trash to do this.

Call RecycleBinEx from the command line

It is also practical to call it from the command line. With the option »cleanupdays«, followed by a space and the desired number of days, you delete all older items from the trash. The additional "close" option closes the program so that you can easily automate the execution using a script.
