    Don't know what happened, deleted some files, and it disappeared from my desktop. I've tried searching for it and I can't find it. I'm in Windows Vista. Any help relocating it would be appreciated. I don't want this stuff to just sit in there forever... :(

    recycling is important, but if you lost your recycle bin, you could always just throw your trash away for the time being.

    good luck ;)

    You can still access it from Computer. Make sure your address bar is in the breadcrumb view, click on the very first left arrow and your recycle bin is there.
