HOW TO DELETE FILES
by John Anthony
To delete a file or folder, select it and then press the 'Delete' key.
It is a good idea to delete outdated files that you no longer need. They add up and eventually take up a lot of space on your hard drive.
DELETE WINDOWS RECENT FILES (Windows 98)
Windows saves shortcuts to files that you have recently accessed or created to the 'Recent' folder located at C:\Windows\Recent.
After a while a lot of shortcuts exist. If you don't need these shortcuts any more, delete them.
DELETE WINDOWS TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES
Whenever you access web sites on the Internet, cookies (small information files) and other files are written to a folder located at C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files. After a while these files build up and take up lots of room on your hard drive. Go in and delete these every so often.
WHAT IS THE RECYCLE BIN
The recycle bin can be found in Windows Explorer. A shortcut to the Recycle Bin is also on the Desktop.
Any time you delete an item (folder, file or icon) it ends up in the Recycle Bin. It is a special area where deleted items remain until you restore them or permanently delete them.
Restoring items - Open the Recycle Bin and select the item to be restored with the right mouse button.
- Choose select 'restore' from the menu that appears and the item is restored to it's original location.
Deleting items - Click 'File' on the menu bar and select 'Empty Recycle Bin' and all the items are erased. If your sound is on, you will hear what sounds like paper being crumpled up.
- If you only want to delete specific items, select them. Then hit the 'Delete' key.
17. HOW TO BYPASS THE RECYCLE BIN
If you are sure that you do not want an item, you can bypass the Recycle Bin and permanently delete it.
Select the item you want to delete. Hold the 'Shift' key down and hit the 'Delete' key. The item bypasses the Recycle Bin and is permanently deleted.
