Recycle Bin recovery is mainly applicable to some temporarily deleted files, such as pressing Delete button mistakenly or at the wrong time, chosen the wrong file, or other unexpected ways. For this kind of accidental deletion of files, the deleted files are generally stored in the recycle bin by default. If you want to recover, just right-click on the file in the recycle bin, and select “restore”.
