The files you delete from your system stay in the Recycle
Bin until you permanently delete them.
Everytime you delete a file on a PC running a Windows Operating
system it isn't really deleted. It is instead stored in a temporary holding
area called the Recycle Bin. It stays there until you restore it or permanently
delete it.
From time to time it is a good idea to go and delete the files you have no intention of restoring.

To delete all the files in the Recycle Bin do the following:
1) Locate the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and double-click it.
2) When the Recycle Bin opens, click 'File' on the menu bar and a list of options appears.
3) Select 'Empty Recycle Bin' from this list and every item in the Recycle Bin is deleted.
