Almost all versions of Windows operating systems require a special add-on to display the "Delete Recycle Bin" option. However, in Windows Vista, this option is available immediately after installation.
Necessary
A computer with Windows Vista installed
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the desktop of your system and check for the Recycle Bin. If it is present, try to remove it by selecting the "Remove" item from the context menu. Do not be afraid to do this, because restoring it is as easy as removing it. In addition, it should be said that you can delete this folder by simply pressing the Delete key.
Step 2
Now you need to open the Personalization applet and click on the Change Desktop Icons link on the left side of the window. Also, this applet can be launched through the "Control Panel".
Step 3
In the window that opens, go to the "Desktop" tab and in the "Desktop icons" block, check the box next to the "Trash" item. If the mark is already there, try unchecking it and then putting it back on. Click the Enter key to close the window and save your changes.
Step 4
In some cases, it is impossible to restore the missing "Trash" in this way. This is often due to recently installed software or actions aimed at editing system files. Use the System Restore tool.
Step 5
To start it, you need to open the Start menu, select the Programs section and click on the item of the same name in the Standard and System Tools drop-down lines. It is also possible to run this applet from the system folder - open the System32 and Restore folders one by one, and then run the Rstrui.exe file.
Step 6
In the window that opens, select the items according to the advice of the System Restore Wizard. In one of the windows, you will need to select a specific date until which you need to make a full recovery. It is recommended to choose the day when the loss was noticed, or the day before it was discovered.
Step 7
After the system recovery procedure, a corresponding message will appear on the screen. Browse your desktop - "Trash" should appear.
