Describe why items placed in the Recycle Bin take up hard drive space.
A) There is more hard drive space than RAM.
B) Files and folders that have been deleted are placed in RAM until RAM gets filled; then it uses the hard drive.
C) Files and folders that have been deleted are placed in the Recycle Bin, which is just another folder on the hard drive. Until the Recycle Bin is emptied, the file or folder still resides (and takes up space) on the hard drive.
D) Not until the administrator empties the Recycle Bin or the system gets rebooted does the Recycle Bin get emptied. Because hard drive space is more plentiful than RAM, the hard drive is used.
