Is it true that once files are deleted from the recycling bin (or “trash” via Mac), they remain stored somewhere on a hard drive? If so, wouldn’t this still fill up space?
If you can fully delete them, are the files actually destroyed in a sense?

Imagine you have a filing cabinet that is just a bunch of numbered pieces of paper with information. Your file might be on page #8,235,17,992. There is a master page that says what pages to find your file. When your file gets deleted that master page is erased. Pages 8,235,17,992 are still there with your stuff, but the next master page can use them and overwrite them.
