Introduction to recycle bin
(A) the function of the recycle bin
Before starting our tutorial, there are some basic concepts to understand: What is the function of the recycle bin?
Recycle Bin is a very special folder in windows system, which is mainly used to store documents temporarily deleted by users. Since it is temporary, it means that files placed in the recycle bin can be recovered as long as they are not deleted again.
(2) How to open and view the recycle bin?
In the common Windows operating system, the recycle bin icon is usually displayed on the desktop, which contains thumbnails of deleted files and basic information of files. If the Recycle Bin is not on the desktop, you can also open the Recycle Bin from the Start menu or the search bar. After opening the recycle bin, find the file that needs to be restored, right-click to restore it or drag it directly to the desktop.
2. Why are the deleted files not in the recycle bin?
Do you realize that some files should not be deleted after being deleted? When this happens, most people will check the recycle bin. If there are no files we deleted in the recycle bin, people will panic and want to know why the deleted files are not in the recycle bin. And how to recover? The following are possible reasons why deleted files are not in the Recycle Bin:
1. The file that entered the recycle bin was deleted again, or the recycle bin was emptied.
2. Delete files permanently by Shift+delete, without going through the recycle bin.
3. The recycle bin is restricted by Rongxian County, and the deleted files are too big to enter the recycle bin, so delete them directly.
4. The file is located in an external storage device (such as USB flash drive, SD card, etc.). ). Even if it is deleted from the computer, it will not be moved to the recycle bin, but will be deleted directly.
5. In the recycle bin properties, users can specify the location, customize the size, etc. If enabled, do not move files to the Recycle Bin. Once the file is deleted, delete it. , deleted files will bypass the recycle bin.
3. If the deleted file is not in the recycle bin, how can I recover it?
Even if the deleted file is not in the recycle bin, it doesn't mean it really disappeared. The deleted files are still stored in the hard disk space, but they are marked as deleted and we can't see them. Before the file is overwritten by new data, you can take some effective measures to recover the deleted file. If the deleted file is not in the recycle bin, how can I recover it? Let's have a look.

Step 2: On the Open Registry page, click one by one in the following order:
HKEY _ Local _ Machine Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version, Explorer, Desktop, Namespace;
Step 3: Create a new project in the namespace named {645ffo4050811kloc-0/b9f0800a02f954e}. After that, the numerical data was changed to the recycle bin.
Step 4: Restart the computer, open the recycle bin, and check whether the files deleted by mistake have been restored.
Method two. Use simple data recovery software.
