Where does Windows 7 send files or folders when deleted?
The Recycle Bin. Windows keeps a special folder, for each disk,
for the deleted files; if you open the "Recycle Bin", Windows will
show you the deleted files for all connected drives.Note that
Windows keeps only a certain number of MB of files for each drive;
once that is passed, the oldest deleted files are eliminated
permanently, when additional files are deleted.
