Recycle Bin Missing ?

Believe it or not............ I can't find my recycle bin. Not sure how long it has been missing, noticed a few days ago.

It is not in my unused desk icons. I tried finding it with a search, no go.

I saved a test document, then deleted it. When I searched for it , it came up as being at this C:\Users\Florence\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows.

There are other items that were deleted that are at that same address.

It appears that I no longer have a recycle bin.My hubbie is not very computer savy, so he may have done something, i'm not sure.

Any suggestions on how to retrieve it , or set up a new recyce bin?

Thanks

Right click on the desktop, choose personalize, on the left side of the pane under tasks, choose change icons. Be sure recycle bin is check marked, click apply then ok. That should add the icon back to your desktop. Not sure why it disappeared. CK

Thanks a heap Colby, that is exactly what happened. I've been around computers for a while now & consider myself decently familiar. This is a new one on me-at home & at work. Who knows why it happened? Doesn't matter,it's back. Thanks again
