 My Files app
 Option to disable recycle bin is no longer present. This means that files that are "deleted" to free up space remain and actually still take up space for another 30 days.
 
 The option to disable the bin needs to be restored. I do not want deleted items stored in bin for 30 days I want them deleted.

I am also annoyed by NOT having the option to disable the recycle bin and that's how I found this thread - It's very annoying not to be able to instantly delete what you want to.

Bring this feature back please!! I was surprised to see that it's gone that's why I googled and found this thread.

This is a BS move, why remove a useful feature like that i liked disabling the recyclebin i am so used to having no other steps after deleting a file i mean really who would want to go empty it every time i delete a file?!

Bring it back. Others and myself have 0 use for trash. If I delete something, I want it gone then, not to have to then go through my trash to clear it again.... Always had the trash disabled.

Yes bring that feature back. I noticed it was gone and I has a trash full with over 300 photos I thought I deleted. I had the trash disabled for a reason. The fact tou got rid of that feature means you are FORCING us to use features we do not want to use.

Delete the recycle bin its a pain. If I've deleted something it's because I want it gone ASAP not still saved in a recycle bin.

Oh, really? We can? We really can delete or files whenever we want to? Wow!  I thought you wouldn't allow that either!

After the last update, the recycle option it is the stupidest one. I do not understand why for contacts, reminders and messages the option is still available and for pictures, the mos important one, it is not. It is plain stupid. Also after the update, android auto is disconnecting at every 2 minutes. An horror story.
