WHERE DOES THE DELETED FILE/FOLDER GO?

                 After you  delete  the file, it  does  not  get  deleted  permanently  from the  computer.  The
                 deleted file is moved to the Recycle Bin. To remove a file or folder permanently from a
                 computer, you need to delete the file again from the Recycle Bin.


                     PURE        With a volume capacity of 20 gigabytes, the Recycle Bin can hold up to 2
                     FACT        gigabytes of deleted files.




                 The Recycle Bin also allows us to retrieve our deleted files. To restore a file from the Recycle
                 Bin, follow the given steps:



                    1  Double-click on
                    the Recycle Bin icon                                     3  Select the Restore the
                    on the Desktop.                                          selected items option.









                                                        2  Select the file in the Recycle
                                                        Bin that you want to restore.





                 Alternatively, you can right-click on the selected file and select the restore option from the

                 context menu.

                 To delete all the deleted files and folders permanently, click on the Empty Recycle Bin
                 option in the Manage group.

                     Aarav was working on the computer to make an important project. He had organised and
                                                          Self Reflection
                   saved all the files in a folder. After he left, his friend Abhinav came and started working on
                   the computer. Abhinav then deleted the entire folder which was saved by Aarav. How has
                   Abhinav violated the ethics of working on a computer?
