Hi,

I want to delete all the files from Recycle Bin but i am not able to do it. My Robot is able to detect recycle bin and then open it also but after that i am not able to delete files from it.

Hello,

Wouldn’t it be easier to right click and empty Recycle bin?
Or you want to delete from code?

Regards,
Bogdan

Hello there,
First thing you need to run cmd as admin and you need to change the folder name according .
In case of using keyboard delete button you can use SendHotkey activity and then enter
delete

Just saw this post and wanted to comment on what I found that fixed this. Do Start Process, with a Bat file that has the following Powershell command in it “powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -NoProfile -Command Clear-RecycleBin -Confirm:$false”

Hello @Venkata_Surya_Narayana_Ka

Please use this command in CMD

rd /s /q %systemdrive%$Recycle.bin

But please make sure you open CMD with Admin rights or make sure you have the proper rights on the logged user.

Try on your local machine first, it should work.
