There are probably a dozen programs designed to specifically recover recycle bin files. Obviously these are used for more than simply opening your Windows recycle bin and clicking on a file to restore it. Programs to recover recycle bin files scan your computer hard drive with the objective of recognizing file types and structures that have been placed in temporary storage within the Windows recycle bin itself. While many programs are capable of finding these files, as they are simply classed as recently deleted data, very few data recovery programs follow through with a definitive sorting process which will allow one to locate and find exactly the file or files they are looking for that have been lost due to emptying the Windows recycle bin.
File Finder’s searching speed for recycle bin files
Among the many wonderful features of File Finder is the ability to recover recycle bin files. A scan of even the largest hard drives looking for deleted recycle bin files takes only minutes using File Finder. An important feature built into File Finder that sets it apart from other file recovery programs when attempting Windows recycle bin recovery is that once File Finder creates a list of every recoverable file from your computer’s hard drive, that list also includes both the pathway on which the lost file had been placed and a time date stamp as to when the file was last modified. Recycle bin files are marked by File Finder with capital letters for the folder RECYCLER. These can be sorted and moved by using the File Finder automated search box or simply by visually looking down the list of recoverable files. 
A further refinement is made possible by examining the time date stamp showing when files were created or modified. This allows you to narrow down your search to only a handful of files for recovery.
The results of a successful file search
An interesting note is that during the process of searching and scanning, File Finder also presents a list of all currently existing files on your computer. This can be of great help when you are uncertain as to where the file was stored. Just as you activate the powerful search functions when using File Finder to recover recycle bin data, you can also use this sorting ability to locate existing but obviously misplaced files. Often the File Finder scan locates specific files that had been placed in the recycle bin deep within folder structures. Unlike deleted recycle bin files which are located in new folders marked RECYCLER, deleted recycle bin folders simply are marked “recycle bin”. While the primary purpose of File Finder remains to locate and recover damaged or deleted files, the program can still be of great help when you simply are unsure of where a file was last seen.
Accidentally emptying your Windows recycle bin with important programs inside can happen to anyone. Fortunately anyone can easily use File Finder for recycle bin recovery.
