How to Restore a Desktop Shortcut That You've Accidentally Deleted

In this video I'll show you how you can restore a desktop shortcut that you've accidentally deleted on your Windows 10 PC. If you've deleted a desktop shortcut, this will go into the recycle bin, which can be restored. If not, you can select the Windows icon in the bottom left-hand corner and simply drag the shortcut back to the desktop.

[@davidmagradze9512]

In your comment i got question. I drag and return it to desktop, and When i open it says Do you want delete this shortcut? and what i supposed to do?

[@PCTECH9065]

it means that the program that shortcut reffer to is deleted or not in the storage or maybe you have installed it on a external ssd and removed that ssd

[@NHSSHINOBI]

The recycle bin is all I needed.

[@SteveRogers-zr8dx]

I think most could figure out how to restore a shortcut if it's in the recycle bin. The real question is how do you restore an entire desktop of shortcuts, files and other icons when they suddenly disappear from the desktop and are NOT in the recycle bin? This video does not address that.

[@surxvr664]

What if you pressed del on the icon and it’s not in the windows or recycle bin

[@kermitlol3027]

Thank you so much this helped a lot :)

[@Loudman._]

I recently moved my Desktop file that contained most of my applications and game save files... I was trying to move or find a steam file and I didnt something that moved my desktop file into my documents tab. Now my games and most apps are gone on my homescreen. I moved stuff around to get my games back (some of them) but when I load up a game none of my progress is there. Kinda wanna just give up and be done with games cause I have no idea what to do. Ive looked and looked and just cant find what I need to fix this... I think ive messed up beyond repair and it is what it is. If this makes sense and you know what I could do please let me know 👍🏻

[@hashir5992]

[@wobblely]

Okay so I have a problem with discord. It says when I'm trying to open up discord, "The item 'Update.exe' that this shortcuts refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete this shortcut?" And it has a option to click, yes or no. Help! I need discord to work!

[@just.ashenn]

ig u have already sorted it out by now but i think the best option would be to uninstall then install the app again
