Solve : Recycle Bin and Downloads Folder Data?

Answer» <html><body><p>Where is the data physically stored, hard drive or RAM? If I let my recycle <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bin-251140" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BIN">BIN</a> get loaded with deleted documents and/or never delete documents and software downloaded and stored in my Downloads file, will that slow down my PC if I have plenty of unused capacity on my harddrive? Thanks. Recycle bin is more like a folder that is used as a collection of what should be junk, but its a last chance location for anyone who accidentally deleted a file. Its stored on the hard drive or <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ssd-632663" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SSD">SSD</a>. ( *files are saved there when deleted unless hard deleted with shift+delete etc. )<br/><br/>RAM is not a location to store anything long term as for on <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/power-2475" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about POWER">POWER</a> off unless its a server with battery memory its wiped clean on shutdown. <br/><br/>Its best to check in there every once in a while and flush it out to free up hard drive as part of system trash management.The recycle bin is a hidden folder on each drive. You can configure the size of the individual folders and on which drives the recycle bin should be active (vs permanently <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/deleting-436577" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DELETING">DELETING</a> files immediately) by right-clicking on the trash bin icon and selecting "properties".One question...why are you letting it get that loaded ? ?...is this a hoarder syndrome ? ?<br/>Quote from: patio on February 11, 2016, 04:28:10 PM</p><blockquote>One question...why are you letting it get that loaded ? ?...is this a hoarder syndrome ? ?<br/></blockquote><br/><br/>Been almost one year since I worked on my SIL's old PC. She was not able to open any web pages using IE or Chrome without getting long running scripts or other script errors. I discovered 226 photos in her Win 7 Recycle Bin and she uses her Download file to store email attachments. Her PC has very limited RAM (512mb) so I wanted to be sure her Bin and Downloads file were on her harddrive. I installed a new harddrive for her which has plenty of capacity. But, I would say there is an element of hoarding going on for sure as she keeps thousands of old emails on her iPad and Verizon server. I have her HD set to auto defrag and that was <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/ok-1127144" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OK">OK</a>. I have her IE11 browser set to delete upon exit and I manually deleted temporary files, etc on Chrome. I had to put Chrome on her PC because IE would not let her logon to Verizon webmail. Verizon knows this is an issue for some users but does not have a solution except to use a different browser. I ran Malwarebytes, AdwCleaner and JRT and got clean results. Also ran memtest86 to confirm RAM is ok. I disabled script debugging and script error messages. PC is working now but it is slow as a sloth. It is 12 or so years old and doing about the best it can. Thanks for your responses.</body></html>
