    deleting hard drive files

    Hi,

    May we know what type of file are you trying to delete? Would it be Office documents, media files, or picture files? If you're trying to delete files for free some space on your device. We suggest to perform a Disc Cleanup. Kindly follow the steps below to
    perform the task:

    • Type in Cortana Disc Cleanup
    • Choose the files to delete
    • Click on "Clean up system files"
    • Click on Ok

    For any concerns, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Regards.

    Hi,

    Your file might be currently utilized by an application on your PC, preventing it from being used. You can delete the file by closing the application that is currently using your file. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Search and open the Task Manager.
    • On the Processes tab, search for the application which currently uses your file.
    • Select the application and click End task.
    • You can now delete the file.

    Let us know how things go.

    Regards.

    My files are not going in Recycle Bin

    This problem is fixed now.

    I don't exactly know the solution but I used two Tune-up and Utility
    apps,

    • CCleaner
    • IOBit's Advance System Care 10

    Just scanned for problems and junk and applied the suggested fixes. After that the problem is gone.
