Where do the deleted files go after getting deleted in Run-Time in a Java Program?

I have deleted some Files in a Java Program, but I was surprised to see them missing in Recycle Bin? I'm not using any of the IDEs, and is there any way to recover those files?

To Answer your question, No. Deleting files removes them from the hard disk completely.

But if you want to move files to Trash in the future, Java 9 has an API for it called moveToTrash.
Below Java 9 you'll have to use JNA or libraries that makes use of it like FileUtils.
