❖ TECHNICAL NOTE: If you delete a large number of files or very

large files from the internal storage drive, there may be

insufficient space available in the Recycle Bin to hold these files.

In this case, Windows

will prompt you to either permanently

delete the file(s) or cancel the deletion.

❖ If you delete a file (of any size) from an external media or flash

media, it does not go into the Recycle Bin. The file is

permanently deleted.

❖ Permanently deleted files cannot be recovered from the Recycle

Bin.

For more information on the Recycle Bin, see Windows

online

Help.

If you place the pointer over an icon, a popup description of the file

contents appears.

Your desktop may contain other icons depending on your

configuration. See Windows

online Help for more specific

information on each icon and how to use it.
