Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today, I'm going to show you how to delete files on a computer. Let's look at my desktop. I have a lot of files here on my desktop. They may be old, but I just don't need them anymore, so what I want to do, is delete these files. One way to go about deleting the files, is to click on them, hold the mouse down, and drag them into the icon, that's titled Recycle Bin. I'm just going to let it go. That file has been deleted. Another way to delete files, is just to click on it, and press the Delete key, on your keyboard. This one will actually confirm, to make sure you really wanted to delete that file. Say Yes. You can select multiple files, by holding down your mouse button, and highlighting them. You can also click on one, hold down the shift key, and select multiple files at once. If you only wanted to delete this file and this file, you can hold down the Ctrl key, on your keyboard, and highlight just those two files, and now I can drag those to the Recycle Bin, to delete. It's that easy to delete files. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to delete files on a computer."
