What happens when a user places a file in the Recycle Bin?
  1. The file is organized according to the operating system defaults, losing its custom settings.
  2. The file is reverted to its earliest setting, when it was first created.
  3. The file is stripped of unwanted material to make more space available for use.
  4. The file remains in the Recycle Bin until the user manually empties it, deleting the file permanently, or until the bin is purged on its next routine emptying, as set by the user.
Explanation
Answer: D - Once a user places a file in the Recycle Bin, it stays there until the user manually empties the bin, deleting the file permanently, or until the bin is automatically purged in accordance with the user's settings. Once a file is emptied out of the Recycle Bin it is technically deleted permanently, however, there are methods computer service personnel can employ to potentially recover some of the file if it was deleted accidentally.
