    I have a couple of external USB hard disk which are completely VC encrypted.
    They work.

    However one problem exist:
    Whenever I re-connect these hard disks via USB cable to my Windows 10 computer and mount them via VeraCrypt then Windows 10 automatically re-creates a new RECYCLE BIN on these external disks.

    The default RECYCLE BIN size consume much space and reveal previously deleted files.
    I don't want this.

    I can setup manually "NO recycle bin" in Windows Properties. But this is only valid for the current session.

    After re-boot and re-mount in VeraCrypt RECYCLE Bin is automatically re-created.

    Since Windows 10 offers no solution I would like to ask for an option in VC.
    VeraCrypt should automatically prevent setup of RECYCLE BINs for all VC volumes (or delete them after auto-creation).

    Can you add this option in next release?

    Thank you

    Can you not mount the volumes as removable media? Does this not solve the issue?
