2.Drag the Article 1 icon to the Trash icon until both icons are highlighted, and then release the trackball button.

If the Macintosh HD window is blocking the Trash icon, move the window by dragging its title bar.

Both icons are highlighted when the tip of the arrow pointer reaches the Trash icon.

When you release the trackball button, the Article 1 icon “disappears” into the Trash. When you put an object in the Trash, the Trash icon bulges to indicate that it is no longer empty.

(Click to select the icon, and then choose Open from the File menu, or click the Trash twice in quick succession.)

You can retrieve items from the Trash by clicking to select them and then choosing Put Away from the File menu. (Or you can drag the items back to where they were.)

4.Choose Empty Trash from the Special menu.

A message appears asking you to confirm that you want to permanently remove the contents of the Trash.

Clicking OK empties the Trash—in other words, its contents are erased from the disk.

Notice that the Trash icon no longer bulges, indicating that it is empty.
