Windows 10: My deleted files disappered fom recycle bin

I plugged my phone to the laptop as usual to edit my mp3 files placement, so once I tried to move some important file from one folder to another it just DISAPPERED. I checked recycle bin hoping to find them but I didn't find them. I searched my phone and again I didn't find anything. lather, I deleted some of my phone's files, I checked the recycle and as usual NOTHING.

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.

 

No delete confirmation for Favorites, nothing in Recycle Bin

Thank you for clarifying. My apologies as I thought that Don't move files to Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted
was enabled.

To better assist you, kindly provide the following information:

• Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
2. Click OK.

• Does the bypass issue with Recycle Bin also happens to other type of files?

Upon further researching, the Recycle Bin could possibly be corrupted. You can reset the Recycle Bin by performing the steps below:

1. Click on Start, search for Command Prompt and right-click on it and select
Run as administrator.

2. In the Command Prompt window, type and enter the command below:

rd /s /q C:$Recycle.bin

In addition, holding the Shift key while deleting a file can also cause the file to be erased without it going in the Recycle Bin first.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards.
