right, it is not recycle bin, but after the cell phone is plugged into PC, the cell phone is one of attached drive of PC
the cell phone is one of attached drive of PC

It is not an attached drive of the PC. It just looks like a drive. Any file actions like copy, paste and delete are not processed in the Windows OS.
