    Hello Dichro,

    Double check using the tutorial below to see if the Recycle Bin is checked to be added to your desktop.
    If it is, then double check using OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to make sure that your "C:\Users\(user-name)\Desktop" folder is still located there.
    Hope this helps for now, :)
