How Do I Restore My Recycle Bin on Windows 10

Recycle Bin on a computer stores the deleted files. Regularly, the files would be
moved to Recycle Bin from its original locations when deleted, and users can easily
restore those files from the Recycle Bin back to their original locations on computer
as long as they haven't emptied it. But if you've empty the Recycle Bin, things will
become more complicated. In this post, you'll learn how to recover your deleted
files from Recycle Bin, whether it's emptied or not.

Is It Possible to Restore Files from Recycle Bin after Empty?


People are confused whether it's possible to restore files from Recycle Bin after empty.
The answer is YES! When you a delete a file like photo or document, it isn't really
erased. The files on your hard drive are kept track with something called pointers,
which tell your computer operation system where the file's data begins and ends and
whether the sectors containing the files are available or not. Once you delete a file,
Windows will remove the pointer of those deleted data and the sectors containing its
data are considered free space. But if there is no data written to those sectors, the
deleted files are recoverable with some tricks.

You should always notice that once the deleted files from emptied Recycle Bin have
been overwritten by the new adding data, there is no way you can get them back
anymore. So, if you want to restore deleted files from Recycle Bin that is emptied,
you should never add new data on original locations of your lost files, or it's a good
idea to stop using your computer until you discover the feasible method to recover
them.
