I never use the recycle bin so it's empty by default.

However, did you have a look into the code of the unlink_nt and
try_to_bin functions?  It's open source...

The recycle bin in its capacity as the recycle bin is something on top
of the shell32 lib.  From the point of view of the NT kernel the recycle
bin is just another directory.  There's also the fact that try_to_bin
doesn't use the user specific subdirectories on NTFS, but rather the
parent dir.  AFAICS, thrashing shouldn't be a problem here.
