Getting to Know Windows 98
Lesson 12: Removing objects from the desktop
Desktop with the Recycle Bin open
Notice that all the icons you dropped on the Recycle Bin are
listed.
4 To completely remove an object, click the item, then File and
Delete.
Later on—in your real work, not in this tutorial—you will use the
Recycle Bin to delete other objects such as folders, documents,
and sometimes even programs. Still, the process is the same. Drag
an object's icon to the Recycle Bin and, when you are absolutely
certain that you never want to see it again, delete it from there.
If you change your mind and want to restore an object you sent to
the Recycle Bin, click the object with the secondary button and
click Restore. Windows 98 restores the object to the place from
which it was deleted.
HINT: To delete everything from the Recycle Bin at once,
choose Empty Recycle Bin from the File menu. Do this peri
odically, because, even though you deleted the item, it still
uses valuable space on the hard disk drive while it remains in
the Recycle Bin.
