When I delete something from the Recycle Bin, does it still take up space on my CPU?

Question

When I delete something from the Recycle Bin, does it still take up space on my CPU?

Answer 1

no , if you delete something it won't take up space on your Central Proccessor Unit,but it is still written on your hard disk, but will be written over when you save something else onto your hard disk,and your computer will count the deleted item as free space ( untill it is written over)

Answer 2

Yes it does....see, deleting something from a recycle bin on your compuer does not mean it is gone.....it just means the computer purposely loses the information on how to retrieve the file..until it is overwriten by other information

Example: The people who restock the shelves in a grocery store are required to keep a record book of the amount of items on a certain shelf......it tells you where to find them also.....if you were to throw it away, the items on the shelf would not disappear, they would just be forgotten until something else replaces them.........

thats what happens to info deleted on a computer, it doesn't just evaporate into thin air, it stays on the hard drive until it is overwritten by something......in the meantime, the data and info is still there, but the computer's registry files are just lost and without the registry files, u cannot find the data that is connected to them

certain sotware can recover these deleted files, however it is hard to find.........

if u wanna just delete the files permanantly, run disk defragmentor...

Answer 3

No. when you delete something from the recycle bin, the disk blocks are marked "available". Note that that data is still there. Until something overwrites those blocks, the data can still be recovered.

Answer 4

look, in case you rather did delete something, un-delete it. Now, each and every thing is because it became, you has playstation put in you like it long gone. Do CTRL-ALT-DELETE, end the Photoshop technique and anybody that's affiliated with playstation , seek for on google while you're uncertain approximately one in all them, yet i think of playstation merely has one technique. After that bypass to the administration panel and delete from there, unistall Photoshop. elective: no count number if that's unistalled and the Photoshop folder nevertheless remains on your software data folder below adobe, then you may now delete it, on the grounds which you have unistalled playstation . never delete applications/classes, do it in the path of the administration panel or you will finally end up hurting your workstation.

Answer 5

Technically the data is NOT deleted from the hard drive, but the space it occupies is made available to be overwritten by fresh data.

Answer 6

Only a program like Killdisk Suite will permanently destroy data that has been flushed from your recycle bin. However, it will also destroy all the data on your hard drive. Try File Assassin to selectively destroy files. BTW...........defragmenting your drive will NOT destroy the files............bad advice.

Answer 7

Files are not stored on CPU, they are stored on HDD (hard drives). And no after you clear your recycle bin its gone from your hdd, and does not take up and space on ur hdd , not CPU.

Answer 8

Yes it still there somewhere it doesn't erase completely until it that space is needed and will be erased then. (or at least that is my understanding)

Answer 9

No, the space is marked as "available" i.e. can be overwritten.
