where do i find the trash bin windowns
In Windows, the Trash Bin is called the Recycle Bin and it is usually on the desktop, often in the top-left corner. If you do not see it, right- click the desktop, choose View , and make sure Show desktop icons is turned on.
Bring it back
- Open Settings.
- Go to Personalization > Themes.
- Open Desktop icon settings.
- Check Recycle Bin and click OK.
Open it another way
You can also press Windows + R , type shell:RecycleBinFolder, and press
Enter to open it directly. In File Explorer, you can also search for
Recycle Bin and open it from there.
Quick note
If you are using a tablet-style mode or desktop icons are hidden, the icon may not appear even though the Recycle Bin still exists.
