Windows 10: Deleted files can not be viewed in Recycle Bin - Windows 10

When I first boot my PC, I can open the Recycle Bin and see all of my deleted files. Class the bin and reopen it and they are gone. I can repeat this by rebooting. Any help appreciated.

Cant view deleted files in Windows 10 Recycle bin

An added complication is that there isn't just one big recycle bin. Actually each user account has their own recycle bin identifies by an SID. When you click on 'Recycle bin' you can only see the contents of your own bin, you are denied access to the others.





Worse still, as you no longer have the accounts that had access to the old drive's recycle bin none of them are accessible. There are however 3rd-party tools that can list the contents of all the recycle bins. Typically these are used for forensic analysis.

Hi George,

• Right click on the Recycle Bin icon.
• Under the Settings for selected location, select Custom size.
• Fill up the box for your allotted maximum file size for your Recycle Bin.

Normally you can't view files in the recycle bin, only see what they are called, original location, date deleted and size. To look at them you have to restore them first. Dalchina's suggestion may work though. Give it a try and let us know.
