Ken asks…
Can you just put an old tv into the recycle bin?
I have an old tube tv that’s broken. I saw on dirty jobs once that you’re supposed to recycle them. Can I just put it into the recycle bin or do I have to do something special with it?
Ok well I dont really want to do that, so can I just put it in the trash?
And yes it would easily fit in my recycle bin. We have really big ones here. I could fit like 5 or 6 actually.
The Expert answers:
No, but if you take it to a electrical place like Radio Shack then they can take it somewhere and recycle it!

Mary asks…
Where do the files when you empty your recycle bin go to?
I recently learned that when you empty the recycle bin that it really doesn’t get deleted. I downloaded simple file shredder to really delete them. I was wondering where all my old files went when I deleted them, and if I can find them to put into simple file sherdder.
The Expert answers:
They don’t actually go anywhere until they are overwritten by another file. All that happens is that the directory entry to them is deleted and the space they take up is marked as free.

Betty asks…
Can a folder that was deleted and is no longer in the Recycle Bin be recovered?
Please say “Yes” and how. It was deleted together with some files and those files are still in the Recycle Bin while the folder is not.
The Expert answers:
It is possible to recover files if they have not been overwritten by other files (you can’t really tell without a software tool). It is always more likely that a freshly deleted file will be recoverable than if the file was deleted weeks or months ago.
The easiest program to recover files is called Recuva. It allows you to choose a directory to scan, then it shows a list of all deleted files which it can recover. Scan the directory above where this deleted directory was located and if any of the files are recoverable, Recuva will let you restore them.
Files marked green are undamaged, orange may have some errors in the restored version, and red is unrecoverable. Simply check the checkbox beside the files that you want and click Recover.
Http://recuva.com
Recuva is a free program from the makers of CCleaner, and the download links on recuva.com are safe.
You should save the files that you recover to a different drive if possible to ensure that other files are not overwritten if you intend to restore more files.
