Where do permanently deleted files go after Recycle Bin on Windows 11?
When you delete files from the Recycle Bin on Windows 11, they don’t actually vanish right away. The system just marks the disk space as “available,” so the files stay on the drive and can be recovered.
I once lost some project files this way, and Aiseeesoft Data Recovery saved me—it scanned the drive and brought most of them back.
