  1. Locate the recycle bin icon on your desktop and double-click on it to open it.
  2. In the recycle bin window, you will see a list of all the files and folders that you have deleted. Scroll through the list and locate the file that you want to recover.
  3. Right-click on the file and select the "Restore" option from the context menu. This will restore the file back to its original location on your computer.

Note: If you have accidentally deleted a file from the recycle bin or emptied the recycle bin, you may still be able to recover the file using third-party data recovery software. These software programs can scan your computer's hard drive and attempt to recover deleted files. However, the success of file recovery depends on various factors, such as how much time has passed since the file was deleted and whether the space previously occupied by the file has been overwritten by new data. It's recommended to act quickly and not use your computer extensively after realizing a file has been deleted to increase the chances of successful recovery.
