as above...was wondering if writing/deleting file on normal hdd affect ssd write cycle lifespan

eg. consider this typical setup: install OS on ssd (C drive) and system also has another normal hdd ie non-ssd, say drive E

when u delete a file that was originally located on the normal hdd, it goes into the recycle bin. but the recycle bin is on desktop ie on the ssd. then when u empty recycle bin, some write cycle amount is spent up on the ssd. does this mean that even if u dont write/erase from ssd, the ssd lifespan will still be used up by a bit?

what about "shift+delete"? eg u have a file on the normal hdd, u "shift+delete" it, so it doesnt go to recycle bin, but the OS still has to do some work to "shift-delete" it, so does it also mean that some bit of ssd lifespan is being used up?

any expert/pro care to shed light on these queries thanx in advc~

Although the recycle bin is location in desktop, the physical location of the drive's recycle bin is in the drive itself.
