There are two levels of deletion on the Apple Macintosh computer.
1. Hitting "Command" + "Delete" will move the highlighted file into a folder (or directory if you are old school) called "Trash." You can also drag the file to the "Trash" icon in the "Dock." The file will remain there until you tell the "Finder" to "Empty the Trash," then you have move the file to the second level of deletion.
2. When the "Trash" is emptied, there are two ways the file can be "gone." The action in the "Finder, "Empty Trash" only deletes part of the file that allows it to be seen and manipulated. It also tags the spaces the file occupies as "empty space" allowing other files to write over that file as if it didn't exist, so, if you accidentally "Empty Trash" with a file that you want to keep, it is possible to recover the files using third party utilities, if it is done in a timely manner, BUT if you "Secure Empty Trash" the file(s) in question will be overwritten right away, making it much more difficult to recover. To recover files that have been "Secure Empty Trash" deleted, you may have to go to third party companies to recover such a file.
As a general rule, don't use the "Trash" as part of your filing system. Use the "Trash" for things you are 100% sure you will never need.
