The Recycle Bin Windows 10 is a unique folder that is always created when a file is deleted from the Windows operating system. You can take the file out of this folder if you ever need to restore it. The files you use the Delete or right-click to delete will be moved to Recycle Bin. However, if you want to remove a file permanently, you need to hold down the Shift and Delete buttons while doing so. This is known as Shift + Delete.
When will Windows users use Shift + Delete shortcut to delete files and folders? In most cases, some users don't want these files to be moved to Recycle Bin and keep them there. The files they delete are totally useless. Because Shift + Delete will remove the files and free up the storage space, users often use Shift + Delete to clear up hard drive storage space when the hard drive is full or lacks space.
Although a file is not put in the Recycle Bin when it is being deleted in Windows 10 with the Shift + Delete shortcut, it is still there on your hard drive. The operating system merely marks the space it occupies as being free for the future addition of new files. The deleted file will soon be replaced by new ones if you don't take action to recover it.
