    It is not hard to have accidentally deleted the Recycle Bin because the drop-down box has a Delete button and a Empty Recycle Bin button. Click the Delete button and the bin is gone.

    After you have the bin back on your desktop, here is a tutorial to " hide " the Delete button so that you won't hit the wrong button again. The tutorial also shows how to " undo " it if you want the Delete button back.
