Go to the desktop, right click on the Recycle Bin and select Properties.

This command works on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7 and 10.

We can also use ‘rd’ in place of ‘rmdir ‘. To force delete directory, without being asked for confirmation, we can use /Q switch. Its a very quick and simple process to make the delete confirmation window appear under all circumstances… here’s how: Force delete a folder without confirmation. However, there may be some new Windows 8 users who miss the old confirmation dialogue popup or may be alarmed by its absence. And, if you use the Shift + Delete key shortcut to bypass the Recycle Bin and permanently delete a file, the confirmation window does indeed appear. It’s not a big deal really, if you use either of the aforementioned methods and accidentally delete the wrong file, then that file will still be sitting in the Recycle Bin from where it can easily be restored back to its original location. That is not the case in Windows 8, at least not by default.

In all previous versions of Windows, whenever you right click a file and select “Delete”, or highlight a file and press the “Delete” key, a window pops up requesting confirmation.
