Have posted this on MS Win 7 forums but have not got any answer yet.

I'm using windows 7 home premium. In recycle bin I can see the folders and sizes of individual folders in detail view. But when I select more than two folders I cannot see the combined folder or file size of both. The preview pane is useless as it does not show the size of recycle bin items, just the size of currently selected item in the bin.

Is there a way to view total size of multiple selected items in recycle bin?
Also in XP, hovering over the recycle bin used to give the size in tool-tip. The recycle bin in 7 does show anything like that.
Recycle bin in 7 is not as good as that in XP. It's seems to have gone a couple of steps backwards in evolution stage instead of moving forward.
 
There is option at the bottom that gives you an option to show more or something like that near the bottom of the window when you select multiple files. Works for me.
 
^ which version you are using? No such "more option" comes in recycle bin for me. and selecting multiple files only shows no. of items selected and date modified. :S
