I believed I had posted this already but it did not show up in the forums at all. I apologize if this becomes a double post.
I can't get Eraser Portable to work on the recycle bin. I try the -recylced option through a shortcut but it doesn't say "erase the recycle bin" anywhere, not even with a right click. I even went to see if I try -recycle without the "d" but that doesn't work either.
This is the latest version of Eraser Portable running direct from the hard drive on a Vista x64 machine. Thanks!

I believe that option is only available if you install Eraser to the system normally. The portable version definitely won't show up in the recycle bin's right click menu.

One way to work around this limitation is to cut all the files from the recycle bin and copy them into a folder. You can then easily erase the folder.

It can do what you want. Just right click icon, choose tasks, choose wipe recycle bin. Hope this helps.
