Deleting a File or Folder

Too many files eat up too much hard disk space which is a bad thing. Because you don’t want to waste disk space, you should periodically delete those files (and folders) you no longer need. When you delete a file, you send it to the Windows Recycle Bin, which is kind of a trash can for deleted files.

1.  Click the file you want to delete.
2.  Click Delete This File in the File Tasks list.

TIP

Other Ways to Delete

You can also delete a file by dragging it from the folder window onto the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, or by highlighting it and pressing the Delete key.
