In Windows, the Recycle Bin behaves much as a temporary storage area for files that have been deleted in a file manager. Windows 8 and Windows 7 makes it very easy to change the name of the Recycle Bin. All you need to do is right-click on the Recycle Bin icon and select Rename. Name it as the Thrash Can, if you wish!n the ‘Edit String’ window that opens, type in your ‘New’ name that you want to give the Recycle Bin, into the Data Value box and click OK. Here, I have named it as ‘Trash Can’. Click OK and exit. To undo the changes made just navigate back to the Value Data box and clear the string.
