Right click on the recycling bin and then click on "empty recycle bin".

Hot damn. I gotta get out a pen and paper and take some notes from dadamafia on how to hide this stuff . :lol:

that doesn't actually delete the file. it simply marks that space on the hard drive as overwritable. it can still be recovered. even after the file has been written over 3 times, it is still recoverable (albeit only by the FBI and similar people with expensive equipment). there are programs that will delete something and overwrite the space 5 or 6 times, which prevents it from being recovered at all.

Just try CyberScrub. It deletes files beyond recovery.
