Efficient waste management preferences

Not everyone agrees on disposing of their computer's trash bin. Some users are more inclined to ignore it until the device's storage space runs out; While others clean it up every day. Striking a balance between these two extremes is crucial for many people, including myself. Recently, I discovered a tool called Bananabin that seems to be able to solve this dilemma.
