Recycle Bin & Security 
The Recycle Bin provides a safety net when deleting files or folders. When you delete any of these items from your hard disk, Windows places it in the Recycle Bin and the Recycle Bin icon changes from empty to full. Items deleted from a floppy disk or a network drive are permanently deleted and are not sent to the Recycle Bin.

Items in the Recycle Bin remain there until you decide to permanently delete them from your computer. These items still take up hard disk space and can be undeleted or restored back to their original location. When it fills up, Windows automatically cleans out enough space in the Recycle Bin to accommodate the most recently deleted files and folders.

When you delete a file in any Windows system you're only informing the operation system the space in the disk the file uses can be overwrite in the future by another file. The content of a deleted file is still written on the disk and can be easily recovered from the recycle bin or can be extracted using undelete or another recover tool.
