Recycle Bin

[AngeloCresta]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

it's useful to have an access on the traybar to the recycle bin, and performing some basic operations like:

• open
• empty and registering some shortcuts for that as well (CTRL+ALT+O, CTRL+ALT+E, ...) I wrote something like that, and for the text extractor (my pity) but having all this grouped there would be definitly good

Scenario when this would be used?

In this way you do not have to access the desktop or open an explorer for performing recycle bin basic operations

I have another suggestion similar to this:

I love using Alfred on my mac, so I think it would be really nice if PowerToys Run would just have a simple "Empty Trash" command like in Alfred.

PowerToys Run can open and empty the recycle bin:

You can also use this setting to make "Empty recycle bin" separate search result:

Does this work for you?

Thanks for clarifying. System tray flyout is meant to show all PowerToys modules and Powertoys related stuff, not specific features of the module. For now, fastest/easiest way to empty recycle bin using Powertoys would be what I've mentioned above.
