NOTE: there is a precautionary measure you need to take before editing the registry key. Before making any changes in registry folder just Make sure that you have very latest backup.
In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s) to a .REG file before performing the changes.
For deleting the Recycle bin on your Desktop follow these steps:
- Open Registry Editor.
- In Registry Editor, Find the registry key which given below [highlighted in blue color] :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\ NameSpace

How to Restore the Recycle bin on the desktop
Just do the reverse of what we did above. I mean to say just create a folder with the same name. If you dint get it. I will explain below.
- As above navigate to the below register key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\ NameSpace
- Here comes the point. Create a folder with the name {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E"}
[Note: its the same code which we had deleted and the new folder's name should be with the parentheses .]
Thats it Done!!
