An icon that appears on the Windows 95 desktop. To discard a file, you drag the file from Explorer, My Computer, or any other file handler to the Recycle Bin. This action hides the file--but doesn't actually erase it from the disk. You can "undelete" the file by dragging it from the recycle bin back to a folder. To actually delete the file, select the Recycle Bin menu selection to empty the recycle bin.
