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?

Oh boy do I love taking notes^1 . Good thing I have so many pages^2 . Look at all these lines^3 I can fill up with knowledge! But man, I’m always running out of space.
I would like to erase some of my notes^4 to make more room, but erasing takes up *so much time*. I’ll just put a special little mark^5 in the margins to remind myself that I don’t need this note any longer. If later I decide I do need it, I’ll erase the little mark^6 . This way if I ever need to write another note, I know which note I can erase^7 safely!
