Recycle Bin is located in a hidden directory named $Recycle.Bin%SID%, where %SID% is the SID of the user that performed the deletion.
Since this is a hidden folder you won't see anything in it by default.
To see the folders
- Open Explorer
- In the location bar enter C:$Recycle.Bin and press Enter
- Click Organize
- Select Folder and Search Options
- Select the View tab
- Select Show hidden files, folders, and drives
- Untick Hide protected operating system files
- Click OK
You can also do this from the command line but the file names are encoded as explained in the linked article. When I tried this I noticed I could see more files than were visible in Explorer.
- Click Start
- Type cmd in the seach box and press Enter
- Type cd c:$recycle.bin e premere Invio
- Digitare dir /ah e premere Invio per vedere tutte le cartelle disponibili.
- Digitare dir *.* /s e premere Invio per vedere tutti i file in tutte le cartelle disponibili (con i loro nomi codificati).
Nel mio caso ho trovato due cartelle che contengono file. Una era il mio cestino. L'altra era di un altro utente e conteneva file che non potevo vedere in Explorer. Potevo comunque copiare questi file altrove, aprirli, ecc.
