With the popularization of computer knowledge, everyone's awareness of computer security is getting stronger and stronger. As we know, clearing the Temporary Internet Files folder on the Internet can delete website records we just visited. We checked the documents and programs on the local machine, you should go to the "Taskbar and Start Menu" dialog box to clear shortcuts to recently viewed documents and programs ...... All this may have become a program that we fixed before shutting down the machine. However, if the Office is installed on your machine, you should also perform a step -- Clear the Office Recycle Bin before exiting the system. In this way, we can truly trace the snow!


The Office recycle bin is not the recycle bin on the desktop of our computer. It is a temporary set up in the Office installation directory to save all the Office documents that you have opened (including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) directory. Using the method mentioned above, you cannot clear this directory. It can be said that it is a small place in the Office. If other illegal users view the missing secret, the secret may be leaked! In fact, as long as we find this temporary folder, we can completely clear the traces left by using Office just like deleting other temporary files. Note that the location of the Temporary Folder varies with operating systems:

Windows 98: C: WindowsApplication DataMicrosoftOfficeRecentWindows

Windows 2000: C: Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftOfficeRecent

I was surprised to find this folder by chance: Because the shortcuts to all the Office documents I have processed in the past six months have appeared in this small corner!

Office recycle bin. Have you cleared it?
