To further expand on Phil's answer, when you delete a file "to the

that
happens is that the OS marks that file name entry as inaccessible to
the
normal file handling system. The physical file data is protected from
being
overwritten by other files. If you "recover" the file the name is put
back
into the table so it can be addressed again.

When you delete the file from the recycle bin the file name entry and
the
physical hard drive space is marked so it can be overwritten by other
filenames and data. This is a simplified explanation of what goes on
in the
operating system file handling system.

My basic "concern" is with image files. Will a recovered image file
have
any
degradation in quality compared to its original, deleted file?

Thanks-

Files that are deleted to the recycle bin and then restored to their
original location are not changed in any way.

What if I restore the photos and now I can't locate them? They are not
in the same area as before. How can I bring them back up from my hard
drive? Need help, thanks!
