Now there are two ways to do this

1st : bvefore deleting any thinhing make sure u

Code:
press the shift key and keep it pressed that way the files u delete wont go to the recycle bin they will be deleted immediately but u have to do this evey time u decied to delete any file.

2nd : this is the one i use

Code:
Right-click on the Recycle Bin and choose "Properties".

On the "Global" tab, check the box that says, "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin...."  
and even better uncheck the box display the delete confirmation dialog

now if u have this box unchecked u wont have to confirm the deleteing
just press delete the file is gone

Many of u already know this but anyway for thos who dont it is a nice feature. 8)

I have lost almost 10GB of useful data in my past 1 year. (guessed )

This Shift+DEl key is so dangerous and fast that without thinkinsg I press and lose so much precious data.

Also PCI File Recovery also then does not help me. And this happens only when with me when the System restore Option is disabled.

Too Scared of this button?

I have taken a vow not to use it again and stick to Recycle Bin.

Let me think it rajesh. Till now not even 7,000 ppl are registered. But lets assume ther are 7000 users in this forum.
.01% of 7000=.7,not even one.
Means this tutorial is not useful for even 1 person.
