In case you meant set the size- right click the Recycle Bin
icon, select "Properties".

Also, you can right click the icon and select "Open" to see the
contents.

"Why" is not the appropriate answer for "How".

No, I mean the real size.

And then add up the single sizes with pen and paper. Good new Vista.

Never. This is definitely not the sum of 29 items. It says somewhat with
maximum possible amount or so.
Add up the 29 sizes. I bet, it's not 37.2 GB.
