Your Recycle Bin DOES use up potential space before you even use it.

Right click the icon on your desktop, click properties and slide it down to about 4% or to wherever you want.
The percentage is of your disk space, when you alter the amount what happens is that the Recycle Bin won't take any more deleted files.
