Answer:When you delete something such as music, video, or documents, a pointer (a small piece of code) for the file itself is what gets sent to the trash. This pointer, along with other pointer for every folder and file on the hard drive, is saved in a section near the beginning of the hard drive and is used by the operating system to create a directory.

When you clear out the trash, the OS realizes that the pointer is gone, and then marks the section the file is at as writable. So basically the file never really gets sent to the trash, but gets written over.
