The Recycle Bin in the Windows operating environment provides a useful function of storing deleted files with the ability to recover. Usually its icon is present on the desktop for the convenience of working with files of any user. However, due to the action of programs or viruses, the Trash icon may disappear from the desktop. To restore it, follow the steps below.

Instructions
Step 1
Open My Computer. Go to the C drive section and click on the "Arrange" button in the upper left corner of the window. In the menu, select "Folder Options" and Search and go to the "View" tab. Uncheck the box next to "Hide protected system files" and agree to this change. Then find the item "Hidden files and folders", located below, and put a mark on the inscription "Show hidden files, folders and drives."
Step 2
Right click on the desktop background. In the menu, select "New" - "Shortcut". The system will ask you to indicate the path to the program to which the created icon will lead. Open drive C and find the $ Recycle. Bin folder - this is the system name of the Recycle Bin folder. This file is always stored in the operating system, as it is the main file that allows you to restore the recycle bin on the desktop of a personal computer.
Step 3
Click "OK" and a new icon will appear on the desktop. The system will automatically substitute a basket drawing for it. There will also be a miniature arrow in the figure to indicate that this icon is a hand-created shortcut and not a system icon. However, this will not affect the operation of the computer's operating system in any way. In the future, you can easily send unnecessary files to the Trash.
Step 4
If the desktop does not display any shortcuts at all, you can restore them with a few simple operations on the system. Right-click on the desktop, find the "View" item in the menu, and in it, check the box next to the "Show desktop icons" item. Further, the system will automatically save these parameters and display all the shortcuts that are currently located on the personal computer.
