It was enabled by default. You can disable it with the option in panel.ini.
Could you please clarify in more detail why do you need it disabled?
Thanks.

We did disable it already. We got surprised by it on some new servers because the documentation says different:
"The Recycle Bin has been implemented in Plesk 18.0.34 and is turned off by default."

On some of our servers we are using a lot e.g. the "archive " function in the file manager together with deleting those files again + other delete file operations. As a result "run out of disk space" can happen very quickly if the files or folders are big enough.
The recycle bin is also not deleted automatically. So if you "forget" about that feature server stability is at risk.

So maybe just update the documentation or disable the recycle bin by default.
