As I emptied my 10GB recycle bin, I remembered once when it had once expanded to a whopping 30GB. What's the largest you have let your recycle bin become?

Same here.
But there have been times where I've accidentally deleted (not shift+del'd) multi-gigabyte files (like game data files) and forgotten about them.
Thesedays my Recycle Bin is empty and my TEMP dir is a bigger cause for concern.

Why is it a waste if he doesn't need that space for other things? -

What's the point in Shift+Delete when you can disable the recylce bin after all?

I assume that it is due to the choice which is offered when one is using the "Shift-Delete" technique (as opposed to the disabling of the recycle bin).

yeah, but I have been using SHIFT+DEL also for a whole time and if you start with it you always press it. You never press DEL alone anmore... it's better to disable the recylce bin after all when you have come so far. -

Even if you have trained yourself using Shift + Delete you still have to make a semi-conscious effort to have the former held down when pressing the later. You could accidentally bump a single key.

Permanently deletes a file; delete sends it to the recycle bin.
It's better for just getting rid of the file, rather than getting rid of it only to get rid of it again when you empty your recycle bin.
