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.

Click the file you want to delete.

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.
