    When a file is deleted from a computer, it is not permanently deleted right away. Instead, it is moved to the Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin acts as a temporary storage location for deleted files. The file remains in the Recycle Bin until the user manually selects the option to permanently delete it. Until that command is given, the file can still be restored and accessed from the Recycle Bin.
