How to restore programs from the recycle bin

We've all accidentally deleted files we needed at some point in our lives, but file recovery is surprisingly easy.

Recycle Bin

Overview
The Recycle Bin is a standard feature of the Windows operating systems and serves as a 'holding area' for files before final deletion. When you delete a file in order to clean up your desk top or free up drive space, it still remains on your computer in the Recycle Bin until you remove it from here.
In many ways, the retention of these files is incredibly helpful, particularly if you inadvertently deleted one you wanted to keep.
Files deleted from removable media and network drives will not be stored in the Recycle Bin You can tell whether there are files currently in your Recycle Bin dependent on how the icon appears on your desktop - A full waste-paper basket signifies that there are deleted items awaiting final deletion, while an empty waste-paper basket shows that it has been cleared.
