    Change settings for autmatic recycle bin cleanup?


    Windows 11 is emptying my Recycle Bin on its own. I need to turn that off or drastically increase the amount of storage in the Recycle Bin that triggers it.The instructions Microsoft gives for this, e.g. at Manage drive space with Storage Sense - Microsoft Support, do not help. All of the begin "Go to Start, Settings, System, Storage; select Storage Sense." But when I do this, Windows tells me that Storage Sense is turned off. Either it is lying, or something else is deleting files.
