3: Throwing an item away

As you work, you will want to remove items you no longer need from the hard disk. You remove items by throwing them into the Trash. In this exercise, you will throw the Practice File into the Trash.

If the Macintosh HD window is not already open, open it by double-clicking the Macintosh HD icon.

If the folder named “My Work” is not already open, open it.

Note: If you can’t see the Trash icon (which should be in the lower-right corner of your screen) move the windows so that the Trash icon is visible. To move a window, place the pointer in the window’s title bar (the stripes at the top of the window), and drag the window.

Drag the Practice File to the Trash icon.

Place the pointer on the Practice File icon. Press and hold down the button as you move the pointer to the Trash icon.

When the tip of the pointer is on the Trash icon and the Trash icon becomes highlighted, release the button.

When you place an icon in the Trash, it is not immediately removed from your disk. The Trash icon bulges to show you that the Practice File is in the Trash, but still on your disk.
