Answer:
In Windows, the Recycle Bin is a folder or directory where deleted items are temporarily stored. Deleted files are not permanently removed from the hard drive but are sent instead to the Recycle Bin, unless they are too large.
The harddrive needs to be partitioned, much like partitioning a room, this is were you allocate space to be used, and used by who. Secondly, a file system needs to installed, to do this you "format" the drive with one of the available File systems that windows can read. Typically on windows this is NTFS or fat32 for older system or devices such as USB sticks.
