Everyone has thrown something away without intending it. In these cases, Microsoft has built in a recovery mechanism in Windows. This mechanism is called the Recycle Bin. When you deleted something (without the delete permanently flags: shift + del) you can recover it from your recycle bin. In this series, we will show you how to recover a deleted item.
In this example, we have deleted one file which was placed on my desktop.
1. Open the recycle bin with a double click on the icon. This icon you can find on your desktop.

2. If your file is not listed here, someone has probably emptied the recycle bin.
Restore your file by right click on your file and selecting restore.
