Description

### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I just noticed Files would open Recycle Bin's properties as if it was a normal folder.
The extra settings (the checkboxes, the max size) of the Recycle Bin should also be included in the redesign.

Files Recycle Bin properties window:

Default Recycle Bin properties window:

### Requirements

- Have a Files app version of the Recycle Bin properties including these extra settings

- Temporarily redirect to a default Recycle Bin properties instead of the current one (If the above would take time to develop)

Research direction

Start by locating the current Recycle Bin properties handling and the properties window in the Files app, then compare its behavior with the default Windows Recycle Bin properties shown in the issue. Done means Files provides the requested extra settings, or temporarily redirects to the default properties window as described.
