How can I restore the recycle bin icon on the Desktop?
The trash Icon can be deleted (unfortunately) like any other Symbol very quickly from the Desktop. So you can undo this action:
- Right-click anywhere on the Desktop, a Info-box that you can click on "Customize" will open.
- Then, you go to the left side of the new box on the Button "change desktop icons".
- Now you just have to put the check mark in front of "recycle bin" (see Screenshot) and the new setting with "OK" or "Apply" to confirm. The trash is now back as an icon on your Desktop.
