Computers What the heck is the Recycle Bin anyway? You see it every time you turn your computer on, but you haven’t a clue what it's for. No problem. Just think of the Recycle Bin as your personal life-saver. Have you ever regretted deleting something from the My Documents folder? If you're anything like me, you have all kinds of junk in there: old letters, reports, awful recipes, lyrics to bad songs from the eighties and who knows what else. So you decide to delete some stuff. Every once in a while,I’ll stay up late and I’ll become a little trigger-happy with the Delete key. After the dust has settled, I'll turn my computer off and head for bed, smug and content that I've done a most noble and good deed.

Whenever you delete a file, the file gets moved there. Those files will stay put until you decide to empty the Recycle Bin, or, as I illustrated earlier, you restore the files. In my example I deleted and restored a Microsoft Word document, but the Recycle Bin works for any file type. As long as you remove the file using the Delete key, it will usually get sent to the Recycle Bin.
