The Recycle Bin provides a safety valve for recovering the files and folders if you have accidentally deleted them. Windows OS, by default, places the deleted files and folders from your hard disk to Recycle Bin which changes the appearance of it from empty to full. If you would like to add the bin as a link under Favorites in the navigation pane of Explorer, follow this tutorial.
