Windows 10: How to restore a folder with no name from the recycle bin?

Windows 11 just did an update this morning. When my computer restarted, it had a folder on the desktop that had no name. I checked the contents of that folder and it was identical to my desktop. Since this was inside a folder on my desktop, I thought it was some bug from the update and I deleted the folder. Everything seemed fine. The next time I restarted my computer, my desktop was completely empty. So I looked in the recycle bin and I see a folder there with no name, whose "original location" was C:\Users\ME\Desktop\When I try to restore this folder, an alert pops up and says "The file name

Hi,

You might be experiencing this issue because Recycle Bin is corrupted. If your Recycle Bin is corrupted, you can face various problems when using it such as this behavior. Let's repair Recycle Bin by

using the System File Checker tool. This tool scans for corruptions in Windows system files and restores corrupted files.

If the issue persists, we suggest that you manually delete the Recycle Bin folder on your computer. Each drive on Windows has a hidden and protected system folder named
$Recycle.bin. When you delete files or folders, they are moved to the Recycle Bin folder for holding. If you delete the Recycle Bin folder, Windows will automatically create a new
$Recycle.bin folder. However, all previous contents of Recycle Bin will be lost. Make sure to only do this step if you don't have any valuable data in Recycle Bin. Here are the steps:

• Click Start.
• On the search bar, type Command Prompt, right-click Command Prompt from the results, and select
  Run as administrator.
  
• Type rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin, and press Enter.
• If you are using multiple drives or partition, you will have to do this for every partition on your hard disk by replacing C with the corresponding drive letter.
• Restart your computer, and Windows will recreate a new Recycle Bin for you.

Keep us updated with the results, and we will be glad to assist you further.
