I get a warning that my external and/or NAS drives don't support the recycle bin. This is not fatal, only annoying. Is there any way to suppress this and finally get a clean sync?

No.
If you do have a recycle-bin active on your NAS (that FFS is unaware of), you can simply ignore the warning. The NAS will then (still) move the "to-be-deleted" file to the recycle bin upon "deletion".

If you do not have a recycle-bin active on your NAS, you should decide if it is OK that you can ...

The NAS setting you show only illustrates that also non-admin NAS users (with access to the Hoofdmap-share) are able to see the Recycle-bin of Hoofdmap.
The link I provided earlier is a direct answer to your initial question.

For your "Hoofdmap" you seem to have enabled the NAS Recycle-bin (Prullenbak), in which you should be able to find any files deleted from "Hoofdmap".
Note: depending on how you configured your NAS Recycle-bin, only a (NAS) Admin account may have access to your NAS Recycle-bin.

Still, you get the message: "Recycle Bin not supported in N: \ Pictures".
