SYMPTOMS
When you a delete a file from the File Find search results window, the files are deleted from the system and are never placed in the Recycle Bin.

CAUSE
Programs that are not designed specifically for Windows 95 are not "Recycle Bin aware." Hence, they do not move files to the Recycle Bin; they delete the files permanently.

WORKAROUNDS
To place files into the Recycle Bin before you remove them permanently from the hard disk, do one of the following:

Method 1: Use the Windows Explorer to delete your files.

Method 2: Upgrade to Word for Windows 95.
