First, it’s important to understand that the recycle bin on Samsung Galaxy is not a physical bin like the one on your computer. Instead, it is a virtual bin where deleted files are temporarily stored. The recycle bin allows you to recover deleted files, but it’s important to note that files stored in the recycle bin will be permanently deleted after a certain period of time.
Step 1: Open the My Files app
The first step in finding the recycle bin on your Samsung Galaxy is to open the My Files app. This app is pre-installed on most Samsung Galaxy phones and can be found in the app drawer or on the home screen.
Step 2: Navigate to the recycle bin
Once the My Files app is open, navigate to the recycle bin by selecting the “Recycle bin” option from the menu. If you don’t see the recycle bin option, you may need to enable it in the settings. To do this, go to the “Settings” menu within the My Files app, and toggle on the “Recycle bin” option.
Step 3: Retrieve or permanently delete files
Once you have located the recycle bin, you will be able to view all of the files that have been deleted from your Samsung Galaxy phone. To retrieve a file, simply select it and tap the “Restore” button. To permanently delete a file, select it and tap the “Delete” button.
It’s worth noting that you can also empty your recycle bin by selecting the “Empty recycle bin” option in the menu.
