====Working With the Trash Bin====
To The '''Trash-bin''' is a feature of the Nautilus application that gives the user a "second chance" in case they deleted a file/folder by mistake. Deleted items are stored in this "collection area" (thus still taking up hard-disk space), until the user "empties" the trash-bin. Contrary to general end-user assumption, emptying a trash-bin does NOT permanently remove the file/folder, but changes a file/folder characteristic setting (commonly referred to a "flag") to inform the operating system, that this space once reserved for the file/folder is not available if required. Opportunity for business has been created for professionals (or investigative agencies) to potentially recover these files using the "tools of the trade". For the average user, it can be completed.assumed that once the trash-bin has been emptied, that the file/folder has been permanently removed from the computer systemPrior to emptying the trash-bin, the user can '''right-click on the file/folder''' and select '''"Recover"''' to transfer the file from the trash-bin to its location prior to deletion.
