Please tell me how a file, folder, picture, document etc. gets into the recycle bin without being sent there by me or anyone else. I have hundreds of these in the bin of which I may have sent a dozen. It's a magic box
Unless you gremlins in the PC, it can be only those who operate the PC that sent the pics to the bin. The don't walk there on their own.
Could you post a picture of your Recycle Bin with things you didn't put their.
I would like to see exactly what you see. Their are 2 recycle bins.
Like whs has posted; something or someone has put them in the Recycle Bin.
Their is no magic.
Use this tutorial to post a picture.

dunkinidaho,
Do you have the paid version of AVAST? If so, did you run the optimization tool? It deletes things.
If not AVAST, then maybe you ran some other cleanup tool.
If you are getting no warning when things are sent to the Recycle bin, check to see if the "Display delete confirmation dialog" setting has been unchecked in the Recycle bin Properties. (Find this setting by right clicking on the Recycle bin from Explorer, and then click on Properties.)My understanding of how the bin works is a window will open asking if I want to send xyz to the bin.
You don't typically "send" anything to the recycle bin, when you delete an item, the OS automatically moves it to the Recycle Bin so you can recover it later, should you desire. You can configure the Recycle Bin to not save items but delete them immediately, if you prefer.
