Generally, there are two main ways to delete files from the hard drives i.e. one is by using Windows Explorer and the other is by using “Shift+Del” keys. Recycle Bin is the place where the files that are deleted using Windows explorer resides. The files that are deleted using “Shift+Del” keys does not move to the Recycle Bin instead they bypasses the Recycle Bin. The files that are moved to the Recycle Bin can be restored back using “Restore” option, when you need them back. If a file bypasses the Recycle Bin then it cannot be restored using “Restore” option. Recycle Bin generally use 10 percent of hard disk storage space. Recycle Bin has an ability to retain the files until they are manually removed from it and until Recycle Bin becomes full. When Recycle Bin becomes full, it starts deleting old files stored in it. The files that are moved to Recycle Bin occupies same amount of disk space as they were using hard drive space. If you completely remove files from Recycle Bin then you can regain the disk space. Files can be completely removed either by selecting and deleting the files individually or by deleting all the files at the same time by using “Empty the Recycle Bin” option. If you accidentally click on “Empty the Recycle Bin” option then all the files stored in Recycle Bin are completely removed from it resulting in loss of files. To undelete files from Recycle Bin, you need to use relevant file recovery tool.
Sometimes, you may not find deleted files in Recycle Bin even when you delete them using Windows explorer. As Recycle Bin storage capacity is 10 percent of hard disk storage space, they does not store deleted files, once it becomes full. Hence, you cannot find deleted files in the Recycle Bin. In few cases, you may accidentally delete entire folder that contains many files resulting in loss of files. When the size of folder or file is larger than the storage capacity of Recycle Bin then it does not store that particular folder or file resulting in loss of files.
When the files are deleted or lost from the system, they are not permanently deleted from it. Only links pointing to the location of specific files are removed making that location available for storing new files. If you store new files over that location then the files, which are already present on that locations are permanently vanished. Hence, to avoid permanent loss of files, do not save or copy new files once the files have been deleted from the system.
