Thanks for the tip Dave. I'll give that program a try too. Will have a look into Explorer++ also Shootist. Windows Explorer really needs more enhancements.
Thank you both.

No problemo, I mean, glad to help.
Wish MS would recognize the problem. I'm NOT buying 8. W7 works, why break it? Just fix it. I figure the Apocalypse (Android for desktops?) will be here before I need to buy another Windows OS.
Using the above solution has the unfortunate side effect of adding two system links on the desktop
if you have Show desktop icons ON.
There is another solution that allows leaving the Folder Options > View > Hide protected operating system files ON as Recommended.
In Windows Explorer, right click the drive letter and select Properties and then Disk Cleanup on the General tab.
The list of files to delete shows the Recycle Bin with it's total content size - files and folders.
This thread is somewhat out of date, but still relevant. I too was having difficulty finding the total size of all files in the Recycle Bin.
If you use the Ccleaner program and do an analysis, if Recycle Bin is ticked, it will tell you the total volume of files.
