When computer files get sent to the recycle bin....?

Question

do they get recycled?

Answer 1

lol yes, they get "recycled"
when you delete a file [and it sits in the recycle bin], you are, in reality, just "moving" the file to another location
imagine taking an object in your house and putting it in an indoor garbage can; its not reallly gone, its just placed to be taken away
when you empty it, you can start to use that space [that it previously occupied] again

say you have a file [for both inside and outside the recycle bin]
the computer marks that territory as "taken", so it won't write anything in that space
when you delete the file, it just marks the territory as "not taken", so it will write other files into that space when it needs to
however, you must note that if you delete a file [and empty it from the recycle bin], it can be recovered [until it is written over]

after you delete a file [and also delete it from the recycle bin], you can use that space again, which is why it is called recycle:
because you can recycle your disk space

Answer 2

Before the recycle bin was emptied, right click the recycle bin, chose "restore" if the option shows. If not, then pick "explore" and high light the file that you want to restore and pick the "restore" option. Then the file should be back to where its original place before it was deleted. After the recycle bin has been emptied, make sure you don't write any more things to the disk, or perform any disk operation such as format or defragmentation. Then disconnect the drive and send to someone specialize in data retrieval for help. Chances are the files are still unchanged in the state before they were deleted, but "marked" as deleted with a deleted flag on the file system. You just need someone to unflag the "deleted" flag on the hard drive before the files were further disturbed.

Answer 3

When you have a document and you delete it it goes to the recycling bin, unless it is off of a flash drive or disket. Once it is in your recycling bin you can delete it form there which you can not get it back from. Once something is in the recycling bin you can also take it out and it will put it back were it came from. :D

Answer 4

When you delete some file it straightly goes to Recyle Bin.......but there one thing is also important if the size of the file is more than you have specified for recyle Bin then it will not be going to Recycle Bin instead it will be permnantely removed from system.

If you dont want let the deleted files go to Recyle bin, then when you delete a file press "Shift+Delete" it will be deleted from system and will not go Recycle Bin.

Answer 5

If you need to get those files back you can open the recycle bin 'right click' the file you need and select 'restore' that will put it back to where it was deleted from

Answer 6

No. They stay in the bin until you empty it. At that point, you could call it recycling, since you're deleting the information and getting more space after.

Answer 7

They actually get sent to a warm sandy beach in Aruba. it;s best not to undelete them, as they generally don;t like to be interupted.

Ok, so for real, uh no, niothing happens to them, what happens on a sdisk level is that secotr of the HD that the data is stored on is marked as "Do not write" When you delete a file from the recycle bin, the sectors get unmarked and they can be overwritten.

hope that helps.
