Getting to Know the Windows Millennium Edition Operating
System
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 operating system restores the object to the
place from which it was deleted.
When you are absolutely certain that you never want to see it
again, delete it from the Recycle Bin.
