If you do not know how to boot Win 10 in safe mode then go here: 7 ways to boot into Safe Mode in Windows 10 | Digital Citizen and it tells you various ways to get into safe mode.

If you cannot find the recycle bin then go here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...9414489?auth=1

It tells how to make the recycle bin show up.



Hope it helps.

Thank you very, very, very much! I'm about to go to sleep but decided to check email. This sounds easy to fix and I'll attempt tomorrow afternoon. I will certainly sleep better knowing this is doable. I thought about the recycle bin but didn't want to corrupt Windows by booting it up.

Fingers crossed 👍
