    On my mom and sisters accounts on this computer their trash bins have disappeared. I've searched high and low for the trash bins but i just can't find them.

    I don't even know what happened to them but i'm kind of worried that me deleting mine to clean my desktop for object dock might have affected theirs.

    I've thought of making another one but i don't know how to re-create the trash bins full and empty thing that it did.

    Does anyone have any ideas how to get back or re-create the trash bin?
