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 My Computer or Windows Explorer, click
the files or folders that you want to delete.
For instructions on how to select multiple
files and folders, see “Shortcuts” on
page 32.
If you cannot find the file you want to
delete, see “Searching for files” on page 26.
2 Click File, then click Delete. Windows
moves the files and folders to the Recycle
Bin.
