MANAGING RECYCLE BIN

                  Recycle Bin is a default folder that appears on the desktop of the computer. Files and folders deleted
                  by the user are stored in the Recycle Bin. These deleted files and folders are not permanently
                  removed from the hard drive and, if needed, can be restored to their original storage location.

                     DISK DEFRAGMENTATION

                  When  we  create  or  edit  a  file,  it  can  get  stored  in  separate  pieces  across  different  memory
                  locations on the hard drive, leading to fragmentation. This makes the system work harder to read
                  the file, which can slow down the computer. The Disk Defragmenter in Windows reorganises
                  fragmented data to improve efficiency.

                  To access Disk Defragmenter in Windows 10 or Windows 11, follow the given steps:
                  Step 1:  Click on the Start button.
                  Step 2:  Type Defragment and Optimize Drives in the search box.
