Lesson 11: Removing Objects from the Desktop
5 Double-click the Recycle Bin icon.
The Recycle Bin window opens.
The Recycle Bin window
Notice that all the icons you dropped on the Recycle Bin are
listed.
6 To completely remove an object from the Recycle Bin,
click it and click File, then click Delete.
The object is gone forever.
You can delete all the objects in the Recycle Bin at once by click-
ing Empty Recycle Bin in the File menu.
Later on—in your real work, not in this tutorial—you'll use the
Recycle Bin to delete other objects such as folders, documents and
even programs. The process is still the same. Drag an item's icon
to the Recycle Bin and drop it in. When you're absolutely certain
that you never want to see the item again, delete it from there.
If you change your mind and want to restore something you sent
to the Recycle Bin, click the object with the secondary button and
click Restore. Windows 95 restores the object to the place from
which it was deleted.
To delete all objects from the Recycle Bin when the Recycle
Bin window isn't open, right-click the Recycle Bin icon, then
click Empty Recycle Bin from the menu.
