   On Samsung tablets running Android 11, the "Recycle Bin" is typically   
   part of the Gallery or My Files app, not a standalone feature like on a   
   computer. Here’s how you can find and empty it:   
      
   1. Gallery App Recycle Bin   
      
   Open the Gallery app.   
   Tap the three-line menu (☰) or three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.   
   Look for Recycle Bin or Trash.   
   Select the files you want to delete permanently, then tap Delete or Empty.   
      
   2. My Files App Recycle Bin   
      
   Open the My Files app.   
   Tap the three-line menu (☰) or three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.   
   Select Recycle Bin or Trash.   
   Choose the files to delete, then tap Delete all or Empty.   
      
   3. Google Photos Recycle Bin   
   If your friend uses Google Photos:   
      
   Open the Google Photos app.   
   Tap Library > Bin.   
   Select files and tap Delete or Empty bin.   
   Note: If you don’t see a Recycle Bin in either app, it’s possible that   
   the feature is disabled or not available on that specific model or   
   Android version. Some Samsung devices only keep deleted files in the   
   Recycle Bin for a limited time (e.g., 15 or 30 days) before   
   auto-deleting them.
