I will consider an option to do this.
(It can be done by treating the recycle bin PIDLs as simple PIDLs)

For now, please try dragging your files from the recycle bin in Everything to your editing program.

thank you. I hope the Everything context menu can get the file size in bytes and search it e.g. (size:3263037440)
would be useful in find duplicate files

Everything 1.4 is reporting the size as 0 in the properties for recycle bin files.
The file size should be correctly shown in the Size column in Everything 1.4.

You can search for the file size with the following searches:

size:123456
size:1mb..2mb
size:>10mb


The size shown in the properties window will be fixed in Everything 1.5

Everything 1.5.0.1318a adds a context_menu_focus_simple_pidl ini setting.

When enabled, Everything will treat recycle bin items as simple file-system-files.

To enable context_menu_focus_simple_pidl:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /context_menu_focus_simple_pidl=1
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, context_menu_focus_simple_pidl=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
