Windows Recycle Bin

Files stored on a floppy disk drive, flash drive, other removable disk drive, or network drive are not sent to the Windows Recycle Bin when deleted.

Files deleted from the Windows command line (MS-DOS prompt) are also not sent to the Windows Recycle Bin.

Tip

If you do not want a file to be sent to the Recycle Bin you can hold down the Shift while deleting the file.
