I cannot find my deleted file from recycle bin?

Modified on Wed, 5 Apr, 2023 at 6:58 AM

  • You used Shift + Delete to delete the files.


  • Files got deleted through the Command Prompt.


  • The removed files were on a flash drive.


  • The computer settings use the option Don’t move files to the Recycle Bin.


  • You emptied the recycle bin.


  • The recycle bin is full or corrupted.


  • The deleted files are much larger than the maximum size of the recycle bin.


  • The deleted files or folders are hidden and can’t be accessed.


  • The file size is larger than the maximum size of the recycle bin

You can configure the maximum size of the deleted files and folders in the recycle bin properties. After that, whenever the user is trying to delete any larger file than the configured size, a warning prompt appears that the file won’t go to the trash bin but is removed permanently.
