There are two tiers of deletion within Windows XP. If you select a file or folder and press the delete key or right click and select delete from the menu, they are sent to the Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin holds items that were removed from their original locations and holds them until permanent deletion. This makes restoring deleted files easy. If you press Shift while deleting, or empty the Recycle Bin, this deletes files permanently, and makes getting them back much harder. | There are two tiers of deletion within Windows XP.
