When you press Shift + Delete to delete a file, that file is permanently deleted. It will skip the Recycle Bin, meaning there is no way to recover it immediately unless you have a backup readily available. Windows does this by marking the location where that file was stored as available so that new data can take its place and overwrite it. If you’ve deleted a file using Shift + Delete and need to recover it without a backup, your only option is data recovery software or using a professional data recovery service.
