On the desktop, right-click Recycle Bin, and then click Properties.
Make sure this is NOT checked: Do not move files to the Recycle Bin |
Apply | OK

[[Specifies whether the items you delete are immediately removed from your
hard disk or the items you delete are moved to the Recycle Bin. Items moved
to the Recycle Bin are not removed from your hard disk until you empty the
Recycle Bin.]]
[[If the Do not move files to the Recycle Bin check box is selected, you
will not be able to recover any items that you delete. ]]

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
