Recycle Bin Is One Of The Most Distinctive Windows Programs That Preserves All Deleted Files And Allows Them To Be Recovered, But Some Users Find It Useless On The Desktop. 

Recycle Bin and Trash are definitely some of the most important Windows programs we are all familiar with. This program has always existed on the desktop since Windows 95. Sometimes users prefer to hide the trash and not keep it on the desktop. 

Fortunately, in Windows 10, you can hide the trash. Once the trash is hidden, you can still delete the files and open them by searching for the Recycle Bin in the search bar.

What is a trash can?

This file is not completely deleted by Windows when the user deletes content from the page; Instead, it is transferred to the trash folder and stored there; So; trash can be defined as a place where deleted files are temporarily stored.

 Trash cans have several benefits and use, including:

• Deleted files or folders will not be permanently deleted; Rather, they are stored in the trash.
• If you accidentally delete a file, the Trash will act as a safe folder to recover it.
• You can return deleted items from the Recycle Bin to your original location and retrieve them.
• Content will remain in the Recycle Bin until you delete it yourself.
• If the computer space is full, Windows will automatically delete the old junk files to create more free space.

Where is the trash in Windows?

Windows is very carefully designed; So everything is in order. There are several drives in My Computer where all programs are stored. In Windows, the trash is located on drive C in My Computer. 

Usually, after installing Windows, a trash can is created on the desktop to click directly on and access the deleted content.
