Detailed explanation-1: -Recovering lost files is not always possible! If Windows overwrites the space a deleted file was occupying, the original file can no longer be restored. That’s because the content of that original file is just not there anymore. New information was stored over its content, so the old information was destroyed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yes. Because the files are not marked for deletion, they still occupy disk space when stored in the Recycle Bin. Once it is emptied, that disk space is recovered.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you delete your files, they are being sent to the Recycle Bin, where they can be recovered at any time. Recycle Bin in itself is a protection mechanism by the Windows OS to provide assurance to the user that if some files do get deleted that they still can be reverted back into the working state.
