3: Throwing an item away
As you work, you will want to remove items you no longer need from the
hard disk. You remove items by throwing them into the Trash. In this exercise,
you will throw the Practice File into the Trash.
1If the Macintosh HD window is not already open, open it by double-clicking the
Macintosh HD icon.
2If the folder named “My Work” is not already open, open it.
Note: If you can’t see the Trash icon (which should be in the lower-right
corner of your screen) move the windows so that the Trash icon is visible. To
move a window, place the pointer in the window’s title bar (the stripes at the
top of the window), and drag the window.
3 Drag the Practice File to the Trash icon.
When you place an icon in the Trash, it is not immediately removed from
your disk. The Trash icon bulges to show you that the Practice File is in the
Tr ash, but still on your disk.
