If you want to delete a file, you can

bypass the Recycle Bin altogether

by selecting a file or files and
hitting Shift + Delete on your
keyboard. You will immediately see Learning the Basics

this

confirmation pop-up, asking if you
are sure you want to permanently delete the selected file.
Remember, when you do this, the file or folder you selected is deleted

permanently and cannot be found in the Recycle Bin for easy restoration.

Restore Files and Folder

When you open the Recycle Bin, you see

a list with all the files and folders you have
deleted. In Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, if

you want to use a file again, you can select it
and then click or tap Restore the selected file

on the Restore group from the Manage section of the ribbon. You can also right-click
or tap and hold on the selected files and then click or tap Restore. The restored file

will be automatically moved in its source location from where it was deleted.

Empty Recycle Bin

In the Recycle Bin, you can select the files
that you want to delete permanently and

hit Delete on your keyboard. That way you
can delete some files and keep others. If

you are sure you want to get rid of all your
deleted items permanently, you can choose

to empty the Recycle Bin. Right-click or tap
and hold on it and then click or tap Empty Recycle Bin.
