The Recycle Bin. Windows keeps a special folder, for each disk, for the deleted files; if you open the "Recycle Bin", Windows will show you the deleted files for all connected drives.Note that Windows keeps only a certain number of MB of files for each drive; once that is passed, the oldest deleted files are eliminated permanently, when additional files are deleted.

Most of the time, deleted files are sent to a temporary storage folder commonly known as the "recycle bin". In the recycle bin, you can view "deleted" files and decide whether to permanently remove them or restore them back to their original location. Once a file has been deleted from the recycle bin, it cannot be recovered in any way.
No, when using the Norton 360 backup, files on the external HDD will not be deleted.
Deleted files may reappear after a restart due to several reasons, such as the use of backup software or file recovery tools that restore the deleted files automatically. Additionally, if the files were not permanently deleted and are still in the system's trash or recycle bin, they can be easily restored upon reboot. Another possibility is that the files are being recreated by applications or processes that rely on them.
