The recycle bin acts as a temporary storage for deleted files, allowing you to restore them if needed. This provides a safety net in case you accidentally delete a file or realize later that you still need it. Once you empty the recycle bin or trash folder, the file is permanently deleted from your computer's storage.Rate this question:
