Then a window will appear where all the elements that we can show or hide on our desktop will be shown Windows 10 and where we find: Computer, User Files, Network, Recycle Bin and Control Panel.
To prevent the recycle bin from being displayed on the desktop of our Windows 10 PC, we just have to uncheck the icon that indicates itIn this way, the trash can no longer appear on our desktop, offering us the clean interface we are looking for.
