Every drive has its own Recycle Bin folder. If this is missing, it
will make a new one.

You can test this. When files are put in the Bin, they are /moved/.
This is virtually instant. When you move them from one partition to
another, they are /copied/. This takes a significant, noticeable
amount of time.

As I said before: you do not need a Data drive. It is just your
manufacturer being lazy. (If the company ships machines with different
sized hard disks, then it can save time by keeping 1 Windows image at
a fixed size and copying that onto all machines. When there is space
left over on models with larger disks, rather than resizing the
Windows drive (slow) it can just create an empty drive and call it
Data (quick). Saves time, but at the cost of inconvenience for the
customer.)
