On my XP PC the deleted files don't go to Recycle bin

Are you meaning to say that on your copy of Windows XP (version unknown)
your files are being deleted instead of being moved to the Recycle Bin?
If so: Right-click on the Recycle Bin, select Properties and remove the
checkmark from "Do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files
immediately when deleted."

What Mr. Grey said.
I've never understood why people want to delete files but have them in the
recycle bin.

So they can easily undo a mistake if they make one.
It's not exactly the same, but it's something like carrying a spare
tire in your trunk.
Even though I have very seldom needed to use it (the same is true of
my spare tire) I think having a recycle bin is great. What I wish,
though, is that instead of having to empty it when it fills up, it
would automatically delete the oldest file there whenever space is
needed for a new one.

When Recycle Bin reaches its capacity, doesn't it delete older files and
newer files are added?

Do you want them to go to Recycle Bin (RB) ?
If you hold SHIFT key when you delete a file, it will not go to RB.
If a file is larger than the RB capacity, it will not go to RB.
What is your full Windows version, edition and service pack level?
(For instance, I'm using Windows XP-Pro-SP3.)
Please include more detail about what you are trying to do.
Thanks. --Richard

If you had ever deleted something where there was no recycle bin and then
wished that you hadn't, you would understand perfectly.
Owners of Sky+ boxes will know exactly what I am talking about, because they
don't even offer you the safety of an "Are you Sure" dialog.

Sky+ boxes are off-topic.
However, it is possible to force an "Are you sure" warning. As a
precaution against accidental deletion, set the "keep" option,
when you program the receiver to record a TV broadcast.

I was aware of that, but the majority of Sky users aren't. Sky+ used to
have an 'are you sure?' message for unwatched programmes, but Sky claim that
it due to user requests that it was deleted.
