Restoring deleted Recycle Bin icon in Windows Vista

Deleting the Recycle Bin in Desktop doesn’t really delete the actual Recycle Bin, it just deletes the Recycle Bin icon in the desktop.

If you have accidently deleted the Recycle Bin, here is a way to restore it.

Open the Control Panel from the Start menu

In the search box in top right corner of Control Panel window type “Recycle Bin”

Select the first option “Show or hide common icons on the desktop” under Personalization.

Select Recycle Bin and click ok.

Now your Recycle Bin icon is restored to your desktop.
