Delete files on external hard drive affect SSD? Quick Question.

[haar]

Hi,

I've got a SSD as my primary hard drive. I have an external HDD hard drive which I use to
store downloaded files. At the moment I have to delete 80 GB of that external hard drive. I realized that if I delete
it normally, it would probably go to the recycle bin of my SSD.

I am wondering how I can delete the files on my HDD without affecting the SSD or putting any files on it.

Do you know how to do this?

Best,
haar

You can just delete them from the drive, that will not move them to the SSD. Then just empty the Recycle Bin to actually delete them from the HDD.
