Under "properties"of the recycle bin, if I choose (temporarily)

"do not move files to the recycle bin Remove files immediately when deleted"

does this mean that only the files I select from a given folder will
be deleted, or EVERYTHING that exists in the bin??

Have a little patience. Give folks a little time to respond to your post
before you post the same questions again.

It means that after you make the setting, everything that you delete will
just disappear, items will not go to the Recycle Bin. You will never see
these items again unless you have 3rd party software to help recover them.
Items that are already in the Recycle Bin will not be affected.

You can accomplish the same thing by highlighting whatever you want to
delete and hitting the Shift + Delete keys. If you have the Display delete
confirmation dialog selected, you will see a Warning that you have to click
Yes or No to before items are deleted. Shift + Delete bypasses the Recycle
Bin.
