Restores deleted files from the Windows 10 recycle bin

Restoring deleted files from the recycle bin in Windows 10 is quite simple. Here are some steps that will help you recover deleted files:

1. Open the Recycle Bin on the desktop by double-clicking or right-clicking and select "Open".

2. Browse the contents of the Basket and find the desired file or folder.

3. Right-click on the selected item (file or folder) and select "Restore". This will move it back to where it was removed from.

4. If you wanted to restore all items at once, you can click on the "Restore all items" option at the top of the Cart window.

5. Check your home directory to confirm that the data was successfully restored.

The reverse operation is also available: if an accidental switch occurred when using the "return" function, there is a saving grace - this is the Shift + Delete command.
