NOTE: Removing Media Safely
If you want to remove or disconnect a medium from your computer, make
sure that the data on the medium is currently not accessed by any application
or user. Otherwise risk a loss of data. To safely remove the medium, proceed
as follows:
1. Open a view that displays all removable media.
2. Right-click the medium to remove and select Safely Remove or Eject.
Safely Remove unmounts the medium after which you can disconnect the
medium from your computer. Eject automatically opens the CD or DVD
drive of your computer.
1.3.4 Managing the Trash Bin
The trash bin is a directory for files marked for deletion. Drag icons from the file
manager or the desktop to the trash bin icon by keeping the left mouse button pressed.
Then release to drop them there. Alternatively, right-click an icon and select Move to
Trash from the menu. Click the trash bin icon to view its contents. You can retrieve an
item from the trash if desired.
Files removed with Delete are not moved to the trash bin, but deleted completely. To
delete the files in the trash bin completely, right-click the trash bin icon then click
Empty Trash Bin.
