Windows 10: Items saved in the desktop transfers in the Recycle bin when opened

Hello.


I'm a teacher and bought a laptop last September and had windows 10 installed as operating system. It was required that I had to download modules for my lessons. I had some of my downloaded files moved from the downloads folder to the desktop for easier access for editing. HOWEVER, whenever I open my file, it is automatically removed from my desktop, there is a message saying the said filed is no longer in the said location. and when i try to loof for it, it was at the recycle bin. whenever I restore and try to reopen the said files, the same process happens. my icons are also affected.


WHAT SHOULD I DO?! I cant possibly sell my laptop to buy a new one right?

:)

Recycle Bin

Hi, Scout-86.

Bare with me. I'm only a student in Information Technology. I believe the recycle bin might be corrupted, causing it to vanish from the desktop completely.

Try one of these two fixes and see if helps.

Solution 1:

• Step 1: Select Start -> Settings -> Personalization -> Themes -> Desktop icon settings.
• Step 2: Make sure the checkbox for Recycle Bin is checked, then select OK. You should see the icon displayed on your desktop.

Solution 2:

• Step 1 Run Command Prompt as an administrator.
• Step 2 Type the command rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin and press enter.
• Step 3 Type exit to close the Command Prompt window

I hope this helps!
