Question by clutchcrusher: Using windows vista I right clicked on my recycle bin and accidently deleted it. How do I get it back?
Also I just deleted a big (7 gig) file, how do I get it off my hard drive? I have been told it doesn’tt really get deleted using just the recycle bin.

Well, it does and it doesn’t. Depending on the version of Vista, there are Shadow Copies that you might be able to retrieve. In Home Basic and Home Premium, they’re gone when you empty the trash.

It has never happened to me before but I would call Best Buy or a computer place and asked them how to do it step by step over the phone – they should be really helpful I know they are helpful when I call them for Questions. Sorry that this question isn’t very helpful – Hope it works out for ya!
first go to your desktop and press the right click on your mouse and one of the options will say personalize. click on it. then a window pops up and in that page on the top left hand corner it will have a word that says tasks and under the tasks word will be a link called change desktop items, click on it and a window will pop up and the little image that shows a recycle bin click on it and press apply and then press ok.
lol this is an easy one simply go to personalize and at the left click change desktop icons and in the list tick the recycle bin one and click apply and ok its nothing to panik over
right click on desktop>personalize>change desktop icons, click on recycle bin and choose default. after deletein the file restart the pc.
