when i visit my recycle bin it is always empty ,even after i have just deleted items.
somtimes i want to restore an item but it's not there where are they going.
can anyone tell me please.

when you delete an item how are you doing it, do you right click then select delete?
or are you using a key shortcut.
the key shortcut deletes without putting the item in the bin. also your bin size may have something to do with it, as if the items are too large they will be deleted without being stored in the bin,although you generally see a pop up regarding that.
may be worth checking the size of the bin

Make sure you don't have Don't move files to the recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted checked on the specific drive you're using.

Are you deleting files from a removable drive?
They tend to bypass the recycling bin, in my experience.
