Getting to Know the Windows® XP Operating System
Lesson 12: Removing objects from the desktop
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
Sample Recycle Bin open on the desktop
4 To completely remove an object, select it, and then click
File, Delete.
The object is permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin.
Later on—in your real work, not in this tutorial—you will use
the Recycle Bin to delete other objects such as folders,
documents, and sometimes even programs. Still, the process
is the same. Just drag an object’s icon to the Recycle Bin.
If you change your mind and want to restore an object you
sent to the Recycle Bin, select the object with the secondary
button and click Restore. The operating system restores the
object to the place from which it was deleted.
When you are absolutely certain that you never want to see it
again, delete it from the Recycle Bin.
