If you right-click on the Recycle Bin and select Empty Recycle Bin, it will permanently delete all the files in the Recycle Bin for all drives.

Note that the file data itself is not erased, just the index pointing to it. Data recovery tools can read these erased files quite easily.

Where do the deleted files in the history go?

Usually, when we delete files, it is sent to what we call "Recycle Bin". A temporary storage for deleted files. Just like a purgatory for files. But where do history go?

Fragments are useful factor to recover accidental delete files. But is also harmful if hackers recovered these files. In large business companies, they use a special wiping tool to wipe the drive with a specific number of time. Wiping can permanently delete some fragments.
