In Windows OS, which of the following actions will permanently delete a file without sending it to the Recycle Bin?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (b) Press Shift + Delete

Explanation:

• In Windows OS, pressing Shift + Delete will permanently delete the selected file or folder, bypassing the Recycle Bin entirely.

• This action is irreversible unless you have a backup or use file recovery software.

Information Booster:

• Delete Key: When you press the Delete key, the file is moved to the Recycle Bin, from where it can be restored if needed.

• Shift + Delete: This deletes the file directly, skipping the Recycle Bin, and the file cannot be easily recovered without special software.

• Right-click and select Open: This will open the file, not delete it.

• Rename the file: Renaming a file changes its name but does not delete it.
