what happens to deleted files? where do they go after you empty your
recycle bin? Is their away to wipe these files away without having to
reinstall everything?





The files are still there...but simply marked as free space...so could be
recovered.

If you want to make them essentially un-recoverable there are plenty of
third party "wipe" utilites that will shred them to the point where they'd
only be recoverable
with expensive and time consuming lab work.
