volume Recycle bin resize capacity

This script is used to change the default capacity of the recycling bin for all volumes.

Note:

The user can alter the size of the recycle bin in the " main(X) " based upon an increase or decrease the capacity of the recycle bin.

X- Integer value

Run the script in "Logged in user".

Procedure's Instructions

X=1 #please provide the value for increase or decrease the recycle bin capacity size.
