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 a vhs tape. You put a movie on it, and you label the tape.
When you don’t need the movie anymore, you just remove the label. No one in your house think there is something in the tape, no one plays it, and you have the entire tape on which you can record something again.
But the movie is still there, until you actually record on top of it.
