❖ 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.
