mine empties when I run Clean Up!
I should check to see what size it is set to though. I often use the shift key
when I delete files that I know that I don't want to go into the recycle bin.

If you delete the Recycle Bin often, there's not much point in having it
in the first place. If you don't want the space devoted to it,
right-click the icon, then Properties, then check the box "Do not move
files to the Recycle Bin"
The intent of the Recycle Bin is to restore mistakenly deleted files.
The 10% default setting for the Bin is usually overkill, so I usually
set it at 2 or 3 %. When you are satisfied with the setting, you should
never have to worry about emptying it, since you have it there to
restore things anyway (or you're concerned about prying eyes, in which
case you would bypass it with the shift/delete keys, or eliminate using
it altogether)
