Sometimes files and folders can clutter your computer. The Recycle Bin, the desktop icon that resembles a wastebasket, is where you put a file or folder if you want to delete it.
You can open the Recycle Bin anytime and see what's inside by double-clicking the Recycle Bin icon located on the desktop or by using Windows Explorer.
Inside, you'll see a list of deleted items.
OR
Placing an item in the Recycle Bin doesn't mean you can't retrieve it at a later date. Using the Restore all items link (located in the Recycle Bin Tasks list) will move all files and folders in the Recycle Bin back to their original locations on your computer.
Emptying the Recycle Bin permanently deletes items. From this point, they cannot be recovered. Empty your Recycle Bin periodically to keep your computer running smoothly.
