This has probably been asked 1001 times, but can't find the answer on searching...

I'm using CCleaner and I can't find the recycle bin. Can anyone help?

Hello kirkie,

CCleaner doesn't have a recycle bin of it's own, the one it refers to, and uses, is the one on your desktop

That is now missing from mt desktop as I have deleted everything from it....

Oh dear!

You could try right-clicking on an empty part of your desktop, properties, desktop tab, customise and restore default recycle bin.

I'm using Vista....

Okay, try right clicking desktop, personalise, and in the top left hand corner it should say change desktop icons. Click on it and check recycle bin.

Restarting the computer should bring the recycle bin back.

I had the same thing happen to me the other day.

The problem is since installing CCleaner it was missing from the desk top. Just presumed this was because I clicked on something to have it maintained by CCleaner...

I have sorted and it was very easy... I went onto help and just typed, 'The Recycle Bin does not appear on the Desktop'.....Can't believe I didn't do that in the 1st place......

Okay Kirkie, which easy method did you use for vista?

As above and followed the easy instructions....
