  1. I need help getting my entire document file out of the recycle bin and back into the C:drive


    I was trying to upload a couple of photos to Facebook and somehow my PC Windows 8.1 malfunctioned. My file icon disappeared from the main window and after much searching, I found all my files located in the Recycle Bin. Every file is intact and can be viewed and even amended/saved but I have not been able to restore them to their original active location on the c:drive. I was advised by a friend to right click on each file whereby there would be a prompt enabling me to restore them. That has not worked. The "restore" option is not highlighted and inactive. I now have to enter the Recycle Bin e

    recycle bin

    Hi George,

    To prevent your files from being deleted from the Recycle Bin, we suggest increasing the maximum file size your Recycle Bin can keep by following the steps below:

    • 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.
    Let us know if you need further assistance.

  3. Issue with recycle bin, windows defender, hard drive space, etc. Dell Support couldn't help.

    We suggest that you reset the Recycle Bin folder to fix problems such as the Recycle Bin of your PC not working how it's supposed to. After the reset, Windows will automatically create a new Recycle Bin folder that will work.

    To reset the Recycle Bin, follow the steps below:

    • Open elevated Command Prompt by pressing the Windows key + X, and then click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the Command Prompt window, type the following command then press Enter:

      rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin

    That command will reset the Recycle Bin in the C drive. After doing so, we also suggest that you run the System File Checker (SFC) scan and the Deployment Image Servicing & Management (DISM) tool to repair corrupted files in the system.

    Here are the steps:

    • On elevated Command Prompt, type SFC /scannow, and then press
      Enter.
    • After the SFC scan has completed, type DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, and then press
      Enter.
    • Restart the PC.

    Let us know how it goes.
