Hi there.
In the short lecture, we will learn how to delete files and folders.
That being said, let's jump into the short lecture.
You will probably want to delete some files of folders so that you would like to organize that files
in a right.
Maybe you have completed your project or you don't need to find any more on your computer because that
definitely occupies some space on your disk.
Right?
You don't want that.
So in that situation, you might have to delete these files.
So for that, what you can do is you could simply open your file explorer and navigate to the files
or folders that you wanted to delete.
For example, I don't need this specific one called a test or b I can simply right click.
I do have it option here to delete or select this and use a keyboard within the keyboard called a delete
key.
Or you could even use a toolbar to delete it.
Or if you just click on show more options, you have an option to delete.
So if you count it, you have multiple options.
This is a first option and the second option.
And when you right click, you also get it here.
Another option and also with this keyboard also, you could do it right?
So you get all of these options.
Apart from this, you also have another option.
For example, I want to delete this business folder or maybe inside some of the files.
Example, the last file, sample file.
So what I can do is I can drag this and move to recycle bin.
That way it actually goes off and automatically the file will be moved to recycle bin.
If I just open up, I could see here that sample file along with that some of the files also I have
deleted in the past so that all are coming back to recycle bin thinking this thing.
Let's say you have a physical copy of some files or some papers and you don't want those papers.
What do you do?
You put it into the trash bin, right?
That's what you have done just now.
And let's see, you realize that you want to do restore back means.
You want to collect that files again from a trash bin and want to use it.
So you could do that by selecting that file and you have an option to restore all items are just to
restore the selected item or else you could actually click on the right, click on that selected file
and see Restore.
So it goes to the original folder as it TS.
So this file got released to back.
Let's see if we want to delete all of these.
I can simply right click more options delete so all of them gone here in case if you want to perform
a new option, you can always do that.
Undo by right click, you can see and do delete.
That means the lost action can be taken back.
So for the shortcut is control z you could use it.
So in my case I wanted to restore back.
So I'll just click on Undo to let that be the files that you have performed.
It will come back to built folder from Recycle B so let's try to delete a few files now or maybe a folder.
Let's try to delete Bill's folder and we don't need this, for example.
So you could simply delete and then that's going to delete this folder built and it's in the recycle
bin.
Now let's say I wanted the files to be completely go off from here.
If I'm pretty sure that I wanted to take out this recycle bin files also completely out of my Windows
box, then you could not click on empty recycle bin.
Or you also have an option to individually select and delete it permanently.
For example, this admin folder I don't need permanently so I can not click on delete.
So this will go off directly from recycle bin.
Also make sure that you try to understand this concept once you empty, once it delete it, even file
from recycle bin, those files are gone and you must be not sure about it in the real keys or real world.
If you deleted once, the files can not be restored back.
Right?
Let's see if I just closed this and I can also do right click on the recycle bin and click on empty
recycle bin that all of the files are gone.
I can not restore back so I don't have an option to restore back with the help of Windows.
So in case if I really wanted again for restoring back, I don't have an option.
But you could use a third party software.
Is such as a recovery tools, which is a peer to ocean, and you'd need to pay a lot and you have a
possibility of getting that fast, but just in a possibility that you may or you may not retrieve the
files properly.
So it all depends on the software and the file and the conditions.
So you must be pretty sure if you really wanted to know, delete or not.
Okay, fine.
So make sure that you know if you're really sure, only delete the file even from the recycle bin.
Right.
I wanted to tell you some other option.
Also, let's see.
I wanted, for example, there's an A folder under project.
There's a folder called.
So for lots of project there's a test folder is.
Let's see, I want to delete this test folder, but I don't want this should go to recycle bin.
There could be some situations if what happens if I just right click and choose as a delete it just
delete and it pleases into this recycle bin right.
Just like a trash bin.
Right.
What if if I don't want that should in a go.
So what I could do is let me first restore all items in the recycle bin so it comes back here.
So now I can hold my shift key and use.
This button to delete it.
So when you do this, it actually saying that.
Are you sure you want to delete permanently?
Yes.
That way it doesn't go to event recycle bin.
So when you hold the shift key and delete it, all the funds will go off directly from.
Windows and it doesn't come to even recycle bin.
So this is another tricky part if you want to just to delete and it shouldn't come to and recycled but
you could use it but don't make a habit of deleting with a shift key one or other dual record that you
might be accidentally deleting that file with the shift key and that file might need it.
So be sure that you know what files you want to delete it.
So use the normal keys like if you want in a delete delete it and you could have an option to restore
back.
Also, for example, in this case restored, you could even do these two this from a cut and paste you
to somewhere else.
So instead of going to the original folder, you could actually model that to some other place and then
you could view it in a what is the content of that?
And based on that, you might have some files needed and some will find that you don't need it.
You could, you know, delete or you can keep the files also.
So these are the options, right?
And you also have another option simply, for example, I won't delete it.
You can drag it out to recycle bin, which we have already talked about it.
Right.
Thank you for watching this.
This is a small lecture on deleting files and folders so that you could better organize your files.
And you could play with your Windows File Explorer.
Thank you for watching this.
