INTRODUCTIONEventually, your computer will become full of files, and you'll have a hard time organizing and storing them all. You can delete any files you no longer need. You can also make room by copying files you want to keep, but don't need to work with again, to a disk. Then you can delete the files from your hard drive. |
TIPUndo the Deletion You can undo a deletion by selecting the Undo command from the Edit menu. Alternatively, you can retrieve the deleted item from the Recycle Bin, as covered in the next task. |
TIPDelete Shortcuts Other alternatives for deleting files include right-clicking the file and choosing Delete from the shortcut menu, or selecting the file and pressing the Delete key on your keyboard. |
