You simply delete it. Right click the folder and select 'delete' from the menu that comes up. Likewise, you can select the folder so that it is highlighted and press the 'delete' key on your computer's keyboard. Another way is to click and hold the folder and drag it overtop of the recycle bin, then let go of it and it will automatically move it there. Putting a folder/file into the recycle bin does not delete it, there is one more step to fully removing it from your computer. You can double click the recycle bin to open it up (it should look similar to a normal folder when you do this, with a few different options) and somewhere in the window you should see the option 'empty the recycle bin'; clicking this will permanently delete all files and folders from the recycle bin. The other way to empty it is to right click the recycle bin and select 'empty the recycle bin' from the menu.

When you right-click on a folder on the hard drive and choose Delete the files are?

When you right-click on a folder on the hard drive and choose Delete, the folder and its contents are typically moved to the Recycle Bin (on Windows) or Trash (on macOS). This allows for the possibility of recovery unless the Recycle Bin or Trash is emptied. If you delete the folder using Shift + Delete, it bypasses the Recycle Bin and the files are marked for deletion but may still be recoverable until overwritten by new data.
