When you empty the recycle bin the computer system removes the bits of code which relate to where the actual file can be found on the hard drive, consequently the removed files will eventually be written over as you make more new files/programs, etc. in the future.

When you delete any folder or image from the recycle bin, it will not delete permanently from your computer either it is deleted by a Trojan. Files and folders are never completely deleted it stays in the hard drive but the file name is deleted. When the system needs “free space” then this deleted file is used to occupy and the file might be over written.
