When emptying the trash can in the pool, Cubase will give you the option to just remove the reference to a file from a project (the file will still stay on your HD) or physically remove the file from the HD.
The thing is, when importing a file Cubase will ask you if you would like to copy it to your working folder (project folder). If you do this, then the reference will be made to the copied version and when you remove it from the pool (either just the reference from the pool or physically remove it when Cubase asks you) the original will still be intact on its original place.
Also this copied version will be used only in that particular project (unless you start a new project and use the copied version in the new project...lol, I'm getting a bit redundant here...short story, make a copy for every new project). So whenever you import a file, just tick the option to copy it to your working folder. That way you'll be safe whenever you decide to remove something  .
The best thing to do is have a dedicated folder for your files and whenever using a file from that folder, choose the option to copy it to the working folder. That way the original will always be left ontouched.
Good luck!
Edit: Even better is to just read up on the Pool in the Cubase manual.
It's all quite simple actually, you just need to know the logic behind it.
