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
Windows trash can, 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 My Computer or Windows Explorer, select the files or folders that you
want to delete. For instructions on how to select multiple files and folders,
see “Shortcuts” on page 64.
2
Select
File
, then
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. The Recycle Bin window opens listing
the files and folders you have thrown away since you last emptied it.
2
Select the files or folders that you want to restore. For instructions on
how to select multiple files and folders, see “Shortcuts” on page 64. Select
File
, then
Restore
. Windows returns the deleted files or folders to their
original locations.
