Open the Control Panel.

Select Appearance and Personalization.

Select Personalization.

At the left, under Tasks, select Change Desktop Icons.

Put a check next to Recycle Bin.

It's not deleted, just not displayed. Right click on some empty desktop space and select Personalize. In the 'tasks' area of the Personalization window, you'll see change desktop icons. Cleck that, then select the checkbox for Recycle Bin.
