How can I access the Recycle Bin from the Explorer window?

Many times I have a lot of windows open and do not wish to minimize them just to get to the Recycle Bin so Win+D is not desired.

I know I can start typing "recycle" in the search bar but just assume I wish to avoid that.

You can add the Recycle Bin to File Explorer Quick Access.

Open Recycle Bin. Right click Quick Access in Recycle Bin. Select Pin Current Folder to QA.

This works in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Reference:

Add Recycle Bin to the Quick Access list

You can also place the Recycle Bin on the Task Bar if you wish. Create a new folder on the Task Bar and rename it Recycle Bin. Drag the Recycle Bin to the Task Bar.

This is for Windows 10.
