    When you delete a file, where does it go?

    • The World Wide Web.

    • Into a folder in the hard drive.

    • To the recycle bin... where it can be recovered if necessary.

    • It falls out of the back of the computer, wrapped like a christmas present

    Correct Answer
    A. To the recycle bin... where it can be recovered if necessary.
    Explanation
    When you delete a file, it is not immediately removed from your computer's storage. Instead, it is sent to the recycle bin or trash folder, depending on the operating system you are using. 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.
