My recycle bin is missing

It was accidentally deleted from the desktop and I would prefer if I could
get it back there. Or knew where it was.

You probably deleted it by mistake, by clicking on "Delete", rather than on
"Empty Recycle Bin".
Right-click on the desktop, select "Personalize"
on the Left side, click on "Change desktop Icons"
check Recycle Bin
OK

this is quite simple, click start, control paner, apperance and
personalization, personalization, on the left under tasks click change
desktop icons, and place a checkmark in the box next to recycle bin, click ok

Hi TheMemphisE,

Like the others' solutions here, this tutorial will show you how to get
the Recycle Bin icon back on the desktop.

Sometimes when it is deleted, it will show as full even though you
emptied it. Even the other way around. If you find yourself having
this refresh problem after restoring the icon, then this tutorial will
show you how to fix it.
