There is no easy way to do this. In fact, there is likely no safe way to do this. The following MAY work. Or it may corrupt your drive. I have not tested. Proceed at your own risk. The overall recycle bin encompassing all drives is a virtual folder and cannot be accessed by powerpro. But the recycle bin for each drive is a hidden, system folder $recycle.bin at root of drive. To see these folders in explorer, use control panel folder options advanced view options and uncheck the hide system folders setting. (Note: this is the system folder setting, different from simply showing hidden files). Then if you have lots of backups try running deleteold on that file path if you want. Again: this is entirely at your own risk. Since you are accessing hidden system folders, I have no idea what will actually happen. I hope I have persuaded you just to stick with explorer for this!
