I keep my Calibre library on an external USB hard drive. Ten percent of my drive is a whopping 200 Gigabytes, so I have changed my settings in Windows Explorer to manage bins on each drive separately and turn off the recycle bin on that drive. I just make sure I really want to delete anything from that drive before I do so. Unfortunately, Calibre automatically creates a recycle bin without asking, even if I have not deleted any books from within Calibre. This is becoming a REALLY big headache. Is it possible to set Calibre to delete instead of recycle or some other workaround?
