Important! Windows diverts only a set amount of disk space to Recycle Bin. When the total size of it files excess
this set amount, the oldest data are deleted. This deletion method, however, is still the Windows' standard and there-
fore not secure. In case files were deleted from the Windows Recycle Bin, this function would be the only possibility
to make sure they were securely overwritten.
