I don't know how many of you aware but after you delete the files from the recycle bin, the files are then transferred to somewhere on your hard drive. Can anyone that knows about this give me help on my following questions? * How to view these files & recover them? * how to delete these files? * Where the heck are these files? (Obviously somewhere super hidden, but if programmes can get them, I'm sure you can also manually get them). Freeware would be nice, and knowledge you may know that you wanna share. - Nicky

If you want to remove all the rubbish on your computer, you should use CCleaner every few days. If you want to recover deleted files on your computer you could use Recuva.

Their use to be a program that was ran from the command line Called Undelete.exe but i don't know if its still in use. Also depending on how your computer is set up it may have just copletely removed the files. Most of the time it just registers the deleted files as free space so that the moment you write new files it will write the new ones on top of the old ones making it imposible to recover them. Happy computing ! Mathew-Hey! The Piriform Products are amazing!! Have you checked the release version of defraggler Yet?

The files aren't moved anywhere after being deleted from the recycle bin. When you empty your recycle bin the memory the files occupy is 'freed', the file and its contents is still there though. Windows however no longer cares about it and will eventually overwrite it with another file. This is why its possible to recover files deleted from the recycle bin.
