Losing folders on Windows computer is frequently seen among various computer users, because they do blunders while managing files and folders on system hard drive. Most commonly users may lose folders carrying important files due to deletion. Though deletion makes that folder to get saved in Recycle Bin, one might lose erased folders when Recycle Bin is emptied. Consider a real time scenario here to know more about losing folder from Recycle Bin.

Assume that you had erased a folder on your desktop and that folder got saved in Recycle Bin. Couple of days later, you emptied Recycle Bin without having minimum look at the files and folders saved in it. This caused complete removal of the folder that you required badly now. Other than mentioned scenario, one may lose folder on Windows computer due to instances like:

• Accidentally deleting folder using ‘Shift-Delete’ keys or command prompt
• Erasing folder from external storage device connected to system
• Folder deletion when Recycle Bin is enabled with the option, ‘Don’t move files to Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted’
• Malware attacks to system hard drive causing missing of files and folders from Recycle Bin

In first three cases, deleted folder will not get saved in Recycle Bin and hence user will lose it immediately when deleted. Yet, in the last case, the folder has become invisible; thus Recycle Bin may seem empty. However, no need to worry much because folders which are not present in Recycle Bin are not truly erased; they are made unreachable by removing its index value and registry entries.
