Windows 10: Recycle folder missing

Recycle folder - which contained some large deleted files/folders - is suddenly missing from Desktop.Search for "Recycle" in C-Drive prompted this "f55b507648efda019481000034241c59.$recycle.bin.cdf-ms" with, IMO abizarre reference to "...rename pending ..."Anyone know what this means?

Missing recycle bin

No, didn't work.

When I got a new folder, on desktop, it never showed up on desktop, and I couldn't paste suggestions (Recycle bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} .

This is getting very frustrating; still can't find missing desktop icons as well.

Good suggestions at all, but none of them worked.
