When you use the Windows Explorer to delete a file, it's not actually deleted, but is moved to a hidden folder called the Recycle Bin, which is really helpful because if you need the file later, you can restore it from the Recycle bin.
Of course the files aren't kept forever; otherwise your hard disk would soon fill up.
They are kept until one of two things happens. First - you choose to recover space on your hard disk by emptying the Recycle Bin.
Second - as only a certain amount of space is kept for use by the Recycle Bin, any newly deleted files that would push it past that limit will bump off the oldest files. This is called First In, First Out or FIFO.
So you may ask a question, “If I empty the Recycle Bin, can I just get back the files, such as if I deleted some photos, can I recover photos after emptying Recycle Bin?” Take it easy, let’s keep reading this article.
The answer is YES! When you delete a file and then empty your recycle bin, many people think the file is permanently gone. Even the Windows help menu will tell you that "Deleting an item from the Recycle Bin permanently removes it from your computer."
When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents will not be immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table so that the file entry won't be displayed in My Computer or a command line DIR command, etc. If you manage to start an undelete process before the Windows uses that part of the hard drive to write a new file, all you have to do is set that flag back to "on" and you will get the file.
