Can I delete the recoverybin from a commandline? Would I just need to goto
the hidden directory?

If you want to delete (not just empty) the Recycle Bin from the command
prompt, type

RD /s \Recycler

This assumes that hte disk is formatted for NTFS. Otherwise the name of
the folder is \Recycled. Windows will recreate the folder when it's
needed again.
