Recycle Bin
Recycle Bin is a trash location where deleted files remain stored.
Once you delete any sort of file, it gets stored (automatically) into recycle
bin; therefore, if you mistakenly
deleted some important file, don’t panic, go to recycle bin and restore it.
However, if you deleted file from recycle bin as well, then it is very
difficult to restore that permanently deleted file.
