    Maybe they are still in my recycle bin.
    But I can't even find my recycle bin.

    I tried Recuva, that did not work.

    How do I find/open my recycle bin?

    How did it disappear?

    Recycle Bin Icon - Allow or Prevent to Display

    If this does not work answer the question about how it disappeared.

    Skostro,

    Double check with the Desktop icon settings using the tutorial below to see if you can select the Recycle Bin to add it back to Desktop.

    Desktop Icons - Add or Remove

    In addition, you can also pin the Recycle Bin to the taskbar instead if you like.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
