Thumb drive recycle bin issue
Hi all, I am not very computer savvy so you might think this is a stupid question but here goes.
I have a thumb drive which seems to have its own recycle bin.
When I delete stuff from it, I am asked whether I want to move it to the recycle bin and it shows up in the bin on my desktop until I remove the thumb drive.
I just recently moved some sensitive stuff (personal correspondance and such) to the bin but did not empty it, then later the same day I inserted the thumb drive into my friend's computer (he has Windows XP) and I don't think I performed the proper procedure prior to removing it.
Could my personal data now be in the recycle bin on his computer?
Again, I don't know much about computers and so would be grateful if someone could shed some light on this issue.
