Recycle Bin - File Retrieval after Windows Crash
A Windows crash necessitated replacement of my hard drive. I purchased a hard drive enclosure to successfully retrieve files from the crashed hard drive, but I was wondering if files previously sent to the Recycle Bin could also be retrieved. If so, where would I find these files among the many subfolders? Thanks!

The location of the recycle bin depends on what Operating System you have. Do a google search for "location of recycle bin" and you should get your answer.

Thanks Fireberd. That revealed a wealth, some way above my head and some consistent responses. Probably the most consistent was C:\$Recycle.Bin. Now obviously the drive in the enclosure has a different drive name than "C". But even when I looked for this current Recycle Bin location on my C: drive, I couldn't locate it for the life of me. So clearly I am searching in an erroneous manner.
