When you delete the files from Recycle Bin, they get stored on systems hard drive sectors. The system stores them according to the size and space of the hard drive. These files can be recovered back.
The simplest answer could be that your system makes your deleted file invisible, which could not be seen but get stored on the hard drive in the form of 101010101.
When the system is left with less space then only it starts to delete the stored files or displays messages of less space.

As far as recovery of these files is concerned, there are number of data recovery, file recovery software available in the market which have the potential and assurance to recover back the deleted files EVEN FROM THE RECYCLE BIN.
My vote goes the deleted file recovery software offered by Nucleus Data Recovery : http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/Deleted-File-Recovery-Software.html

Files that are deleted from recycle bin are still on the hard drive. What happens is when deleted the file name is changed so the next time for whatever reason the computer goes looking for the deleted file it does'nt find it because the name has been changed. However there are software programs that will recover and restore the old file if needed Ex. if accidentally deleted. Conversally files that have been deleted can be removed permanently beyond all possiable recovery by the same software. Good if you want to absolutely possitively want to removr any personnel data of any and all kinds. By the way reformatting will not remove all files they still could be recovered.

When you delete files from your computer and after you empty it out of the Recycle Bin, where exactly does it go?
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question578.htm
When you empty the recycle bin the files are not erased. A pointer to the file is removed. The files can easily be recovered using special programs.
As the computer is used data gets written to the disk, there is a chance the new data will overwrite a deleted file. The sooner you recover a deleted file the better chance the file will be undamaged.
Some programs such as CCleaner can be set to overwrite the file several times to make it not recoverable.

The fies are just made to disppear. They can never be recovered. You must be cautious to delete from the Recycle Bin only those files that you know you will never need. It helps you clear up disk space that is unnecessarily cluttered. A Registry Cleaner would also be a great help. It works better as it cleans out the corners you can never hope to reach. It can optimise your system. If too much space is taken up, the PC can slow down and lose efficiency.
As long as a file is still in the recycle bin, it can be restored.

Technically, they don't go anywhere. The 1s and 0s that make up those files are still set - it's just that now the file system knows it can write other stuff over those 1s and 0s. That's why you can get "undelete" utilities that can salvage deleted files if nothing else has been written to that part of the hard drive yet.

All links to the file are severed. They would still be recoverable until such time as the space on the hard drive has something else placed on it, unless you yourself run the files through a "shredder" such as the one built in to Spybot Search and Destroy.

They are "deleted", meaning erased from your hard drive, from your registry, from your computer....unrecoberable !
If you are bilingual you can say Adios to those files!
