And its appearance has come a long way since then.
The recycle bin's purpose is to provide a safety net for users who might accidentally delete files that were not intended for deletion. By default, there is an icon for the Recycle Bin on the windows desktop. The icon shows a full recycle bin when it contains files, and an empty recycle bin when no files are present. Files will remain in the recycle bin until the maximum recycle bin size has been reached or as long as the user does not empty the recycle bin. When the recycle bin's maximum size has been reached the oldest contents will be deleted to make room for the most recently deleted.
When a file is sent to the recycle bin, there is some processing that is performed in the background which is transparent to the user. Windows renames all files that are placed in the recycle bin. A file sent to the recycle bin will be renamed using the following naming scheme: "Dc6.jpg". The "c" in the file name represents the drive letter from which the file was deleted. The 6 means that this was the 7th file that was deleted (if it had been the first file deleted it would be "Dc0.jpg"). The file extension is kept from the original file name. In this case it shows that it was a jpg format image file. Windows keeps track of the original file name and path in a hidden file named info or info2. It uses this information in order to display the files in a more understandable fashion when a user opens the recycle bin as well as to be able to restore the file to its original name and location if a user selects to do so. For this reason, when a user browses the recycle bin, he will still see the original file name instead of the new name. When a file is permanently removed by manually deleting it from the recycle bin or by emptying the recycle bin, the original file name is lost. The file that was deleted remains on the hard disk but with a name such as "Dc6.jpg".
