It’s been around for a long time. The familiar Recycle Bin is sitting on your Windows desktop. Since Windows 95, the Recycle Bin has always been a standard feature of the operating system. It’s a garbage management system that allows you to delete files you no longer need, but also to take a quick look at what you’re actually deleting. The Recycle Bin icon is typically found on the top-left corner of the desktop, among other constants such as ‘My Computer’ and ‘Start’. Sometimes, the icon is not visible on the desktop, and users rarely know how to get it back. But don’t worry, because there are several ways to access the Recycle Bin.
