How to Delete files in the Recylce bin Windows 7

JohnnyTodd

Hi all,

New to Windows 7. Can anyone please advice on how to empty the recycle bin in Windows 7?

Thoie

You have to set up a contract with a licensed recycling facility. Try Thorntons.

PS - they'll need your credit card PIN in order to set up your account.

OK. Do you know how install Visual Studio 2010 on an iPhone?

I'm not sure if Thoie was trying to be funny or was seriously confused.

Here are simple instructions from Microsoft.com;

When you delete a file from your computer, it is temporarily stored in the Recycle Bin. This usually gives you an opportunity to restore the file to its original location if you discover that the file should not have been deleted. To permanently remove files from the computer and reclaim any hard disk space they were using, you need to permanently delete files from the Recycle Bin. You can choose to delete individual files from the Recycle Bin or empty the entire Recycle Bin at once.

Open the Recycle Bin by double-clicking the Recycle Bin on the desktop.

Do one of the following:

To delete one file, click it, and then press DELETE.

To delete all of the files, on the toolbar, click Empty the Recycle Bin.


Tips

To empty the Recycle Bin without opening it, right-click the Recycle Bin, and then click Empty Recycle Bin.

To permanently delete a file from your computer without first sending it to the Recycle Bin, click the file, and then press SHIFT+DELETE.

Just open up the PC and tip the contents in to the bin beside your desk.

Use SHIFT + Delete to instantly delete stuff, no need to ever empty the recycling bin.

The files will be gone from Windows, but if its neccesary for them to be permanently removed you must use a third party tool, like Eraser.
Otherwise the files are just marked for overwriting, and can be recovered in many cases very quickly
