Erasing something from a computer does not completely eliminate the information, but sends it to the recycling bin. This creates a problem, should you need to sell your machine. You don’t want your sensitive information leaking to the wrong person.

A simple shortcut can be used to avoid having files automatically sent to the trash can and stored there.

To permanently remove files from your computer, select them, hold Shift and Delete, and then click OK.
