How can i get my recycle bin back after i accidently deleted it?
OK listen now. I was emptying out my recycle bin when instead of clicking “EMPTY RECYCLE BIN” i clicked “DELETE RECYCLE BIN“. And now i don’t know how to get it back i tried searching for it but i just cant find it. IS there a website i can go to download one or what?
The Expert answers:
I assume you’re in Vista. Just right-click on your desktop, go to Personalize, and then at the left pane, click on Change Desktop Icons. A window will open and just make sure that Recycle Bin is checked off.
Steven asks…
What happened to my recycle bin from the desktop?
The icon for the recycling bin has recently disappeared from my desktop. I was trying to find it in the Windows folder (and sub folders) but couldn’t manage to find it. When I delete files, the regular message pops up: are you sure you want to send the following item(s) to the recycle bin? I say yes, and the files get deleted. Still I want to find it. Does anyone have any idea where I could find it/restore it? Thanks in advance.
The Expert answers:
You have Vista i’m guessing?
It’s quite easy to accidentally delete it from the desktop with Vista.
Right-click your desktop and click personalize
On the left hand side of the window that opens click ‘Change desktop icons’
Tick Recycle Bin,
Click Apply, Then OK

Robert asks…
When a recycle bin is emptied on a computer, do the files go somewhere else?
I recently emptied my recycle bin, but would like to recover my files. I am aware of the software I can purchase or download, but they have not worked for me.
I was wondering…
When a recycle bin is emptied on a computer, do the files go somewhere else? I have searched my C: drive with no luck, but maybe they are hidden somewhere deep in my computer…
Thanks!

How to recover deleted recycle bin files
Step 1 to Recover Deleted Recycle Bin Files:
Download and install Recover My Files
Step 2 to Recover Deleted Recycle Bin Files:
Select the Type of Search
Click on the desktop icon to run the program. A wizard will present you with three search options:
Fast Search: Try this first, should complete within 20 minutes;
Complete Search: Includes a Fast Search and should be complete within 1 to 5 hours.
Format Recover: Run this search if you have formatted your hard drive. The search should be complete within 1 to 5 hours. Follow these instructions.
Click next to proceed to the next wizard screen.
Step 3 to Recover Deleted Recycle Bin Files:
Select the Drive To Search
The next wizard screen performs a scan to identify the devices (hard drives, digital camera, USB drive etc) that are connected to your computer. Select the device you wish to search by using your mouse to place a green tick in the box next to the device name.
The “Folders to Search” option allows you to add existing folders into your search. Add a folder by double clicking with your mouse in the specified location, remove a folder by double clicking on the folder.
Step 4 to Recover Deleted Recycle Bin Files:
Selecting File Types to Search
The next wizard screen asks you to select the file types that you are trying to recover. After you have run the search, files that are located will be grouped by file types according to the selections you have made in this screen. All other files will be catagorised as “other deleted files”.
PLEASE NOTE: The number of file types selected will directly impact the speed of the search. We suggest you select between 1 and 10 files. MP3 and Text files are the slowest. Conduct a separate search for these files.
Step 5 to Recover Deleted Recycle Bin Files:
Running the Search
When the ‘start’ button is pressed the search is commenced. Note that a “Complete Search” and a “Format Recover” may take a number of hours as they are a scan of your entire storage media.
It is possible to preview the search results while the search is in progress. Use your mouse to move the progress box out of the way and access the search results screen behind it.
Step 6 to Recover Deleted Recycle Bin Files:
The Results Screen
Files found are grouped by file type in the left hand column (any files that are found that do not belong to a file type that you selected are placed in the “Other Deleted Files” folder).
Click on the file type in the left and column to display the files found for that type in the right hand column. Click on an individual file in the right hand column to see its properties and a preview of its contents (if available) in the bottom windows.
Step 7 to Recover Deleted Recycle Bin Files:
Saving Recovered Files
Recover My Files must be purchased and registered in order to save files.
Click here to buy Recover My Files.
To enter the registration key click ‘Help’ and then ‘Register’. Select the files to be saved in the results screen by placing a tick next to the file. Then click the save button. You must save files to a seperate storage media to the one on which they were recovered.
If you are using Version 2.90, released 5 November 2004, you can save directly to writeable CD or DVD (to access this feature select the drop down arrow next to the “Save Files” button on the results screen).
