title: Where does os.remove go?
body: <p>I've been using Python for a long time and have numerous scripts running all over my office. I use a few in particular scripts to back up then delete data. In these script I use <code>os.remove</code> function.</p>
  <p>My question is: <strong>Where does the os.remove function delete items to?</strong></p>
  <ul>
  <li>Does it delete them right off the HD?</li>
  <li>I know they don't go to the recycle bin</li>
  <li>Does it simply remove the item's link, but keep it on the HD somehow?</li>
  </ul>
