Windows 10: I deleted 42GB from my recycle bin, a week ago at least. Made an update, cleanup and...

Probably some « cosmetic » bug… but I would like to know a way to verify and resolve it.

Recycle Bin was deleted

Hi Raghav,

If we, by mistake, deleted the Recycle Bin icon on our desktop, we can still recover it.

Here are the steps to recover the Recycle Bin:

• Go to Start.
• Select Settings.
• Choose Personalization > Themes > Desktop icon settings.
• Check the box beside Recycle Bin, then press Apply.
• Hit the OK button.

Refer to the screenshot below:





Get back to us with the result.
