Delete the files you dont need. Then right click on the Recycle bin, click empty recycle bin.
Recycle bin is on your desktop. Or you can just hold the Shift key as you delete a file and it won't go to the recycle bin, it'll be deleted. (Files aren't actually deleted, they're marked deleted, and the space they occupy is marked available. If you want to write over the file after you delete it, so it can't be recovered, use a program like Eraser [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) )

Nope, it's possible to recover using certain file recovery programs.
From now on try using a File Shredder program for files you want to be as perminatly deleted as possible.
A decent free one can be found at:

Try using Restoration to make sure the files you've already deleted are deleted for good/as much as possible:

Nothing that you delete from your computer can ever really be destroyed or deleted off your hard disk unless you throw it into an incinerator. However. Deleting them manually and emptying your recycle bin will prevent anyone from recovering them unless they are the FBI or a computer specialist and know how to recover deleted images off a hard drive. But assuming youre not going to encounter those people any time soon, youll be fine

Depends on how long ago you deleted it. The longer the files are deleted, the more they corrupt. Download recuva here:

install it. Run it and scan your main disk. Most of the files it finds will be junk; old system and temp files. Find the one you want and check the box to the left. Press recover. If you're lucky, the file will be where you save it, intact. If it's been more than a few days, the file will probably be corrupted; if it's a text file it will have missing text, if its an image or video, parts will be missing. Sometimes it won't even run. In that case, you'd have to take the computer to a recovery specialist, and that costs big bucks.
