It will be deleted permanently, or It will go to recycle bin of that PC

Restoring the content in the first case is not an easy, straight-forward task, but in the second case, you can simply open the Recycle Bin and restore the deleted file, but then it works only when the owner of that PC has not emptied his recycle bin! So, is there any better solution? Luckily, yes! The solution is to create a custom, built-in recycle bin within the flash drive!

How to create recycle bin for USB/Flash drive?

Check out a cool utility called iBIN which creates a built-in Recycle Bin for Flash drives. Just download the zip file, extract the EXE from the ZIP and copy it into your flash drive. Now run the EXE you just placed in your flash drive to create your flash drive’s Recycle Bin! When you try to delete a file, you will now get a warning pop-up like the one below

Clicking on Dump into iBin would move the file to iBin which will be available for restoration at a later point of time. We can adjust the capacity options for iBin along with other options by right-clicking on its system tray icon and opening its menu.

There are variety of options available to tweak the settings of the utility to your requirement
