This is because Windows only puts a Recycle Bin on fixed volumes like hard-drives, not removable volumes like flash-drives, memory cards, floppy disks, packet-writing CD+RWs, network drives, or substituted drive letters (even ones mapped to fixed-disks). What they were likely talking about was that deleting a file from a flash-drive is always equivalent to holding ⇧ Shift when deleting the file. Yes and no it depends on your definition of “gone for good”. I heard some people mention that files are deleted from flash drive for good, there is no tracing back. However, hitting things with a hammer is so much more fun and permanent. You could also cipher /w a few times on a Windows machine ( dd if=/dev/zero bs=2048 of=/mnt/disk/file on a *NIX machine). Flash drives are cheap and yes, data can be recovered from them.
