Where do deleted files go by default in Windows OS?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) The Recycle Bin

Explanation:

• In Windows OS, when a file is deleted using the Delete key or right-click > delete, it is not permanently removed but moved to the Recycle Bin.

• The Recycle Bin temporarily holds deleted files, allowing users to restore them if needed, until it is emptied manually or automatically.

Information Booster:

• Files deleted using Shift + Delete bypass the Recycle Bin and are permanently erased.

• The Recycle Bin has a storage limit based on the drive’s size.

• Recycle Bin retains original file paths, making restoration easy.

• It is possible to customize settings of the Recycle Bin per drive.

• Some system folders or files may not go to Recycle Bin if deleted.
