Getting to Know Windows XP

Lesson 12: Removing objects from the desktop

Sample Recycle Bin open on the desktop

4

To completely remove an object, select it, and then click File,
Delete.

The object is permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin.

Later on—in your real work, not in this tutorial—you will use the
Recycle Bin to delete other objects such as folders, documents,
and sometimes even programs. Still, the process is the same. Just
drag an object’s icon to the Recycle Bin.

If you change your mind and want to restore an object you sent to
the Recycle Bin, select the object with the secondary button and
click Restore. The Windows

®

XP operating system restores the

object to the place from which it was deleted.

But when you are absolutely certain that you never want to see it
again, delete it from the Recycle Bin.

To delete everything from the Recycle Bin at once, choose Empty
the Recycle Bin
from the File menu.
