Deleting files and folders
When you throw away paper files and folders, you take them from the file cabinet
and put them in a trash can. Eventually the trash can is emptied.
In Windows, you throw away files and folders by first moving them to the Windows
trash can, called the
Recycle Bin
, where they remain until you decide to empty the bin.
You can recover any file in the Recycle Bin as long as the bin has not been emptied.
To delete files or folders:
1 In the Computer or Windows Explorer window, click the files or folders that you
want to delete. For instructions on how to select multiple files and folders, see
“Shortcuts” on page 19 .
If you cannot find the file you want to delete, see
“Searching for files” on page 12
.
2 Click Organize, then click Delete. Windows moves the files and folders to the
Recycle Bin.
To recover files or folders from the Recycle Bin:
1 Double-click the Recycle Bin icon on your Windows desktop. The
Recycle Bin
window opens and lists the files and folders you have thrown away since you
last emptied it.
2 Click the files or folders that you want to restore. For instructions on how to
select multiple files and folders, see “Shortcuts” on page 19 .
3 Click Restore. Windows returns the deleted files or folders to their original
locations.
