One of the easiest way to delete files and folders without sending them to the Recycle Bin is through keyboard shortcut. In this guide, we will show you how you can skip the Recycle Bin when deleting files and folders on Windows 10 computer.
So, you will need to delete the files from the Recycle Bin as well to free up the space. So, if you have accidentally deleted the file and want to restore it, you can easily do so from the Recycle Bin.īut the downside is that when you delete the file and it goes to the Recycle Bin, the storage space on your drive remains the same.
