I'm trying to delete a 40GB rdr2 fg bin file from my computer, but Windows won't let me because it's too large. I really want to free up some space, so I'm looking for advice on how to get rid of this file. Can anyone help?

You can delete big files like that directly! It just means they won't go to the Recycle Bin. If you're okay with it being permanently deleted, just use Shift + Delete to bypass the Recycle Bin altogether.

It sounds like your Recycle Bin can't handle files that big. You could either increase its size or just use Shift + Delete to permanently remove the file instead.

If you're still having trouble, make sure no background processes are using the file. Booting into Safe Mode or using the Command Prompt could help. You can just run `del /f /q "C:pathtoyourfile.bin"` in CMD as an Administrator to force-delete it without getting an error.
