Do you know that when you delete a file from the recycle bin, it is not permanently deleted? Yes, it is still present on your hard drive! If you try to delete sensitive data from your hard drive, a (very) malicious person can recover your files using data recovery software or through the Windows File History. What to do then to permanently erase a file from his hard drive?
How are you going to delete this file?
You put the file in the trash from Windows Explorer, you open the trash then you delete the file. Faster, you can also select the file from the Windows Explorer and press the Ctrl + Delete keys to delete it without going through the trash.
Using this method, you have the impression that your file is permanently deleted. Still, it still exists physically on the hard drive.
