Computer files, folders, everything gone?
IF you want your stuff back, the suggestions to do things like restore and also the one that says to defragment are the absolutely worst thing that you can do. They will make recovering your stuff impossible, or close to it. Someone who knows what they are doing can get your stuff back at this point. Everything you do from this point on will lower the chance of that working though. If you want it back, take it to a local repair shop that has a lot of data recovery experience. It won't be cheap, so it depends on how valuable the data is to you. You have already been told about backups so I don't have to repeat that. It is unfortunate to have so many people posting answers that are 100% wrong. It makes things confusing, if nothing else. I know what works and what doesn't because it is one of the things that I have been doing in my business for years.

Photos, videos, document and other files you deleted from recycle bin were not erased permanently. They are just inaccessible or invisible.

What would happen if I delete my recycle bin and from where can I recover it again?
(I’ll reuse part of my answer to What happens when I put my recycle bin into the shortcut of the recycle bin? (windows)?)Picture from Ouroboros - WikipediaI was picturing this…But actually nothing will happen…Windows won’t allow this action. The Windows desktop Recycle Bin is not an actual folder. It is a virtual folder that collects the information about deleted files such as file size, original file location and then presents information to users. It is a built-in tool that comes with Windows operating system and cannot be actually deleted. You can delete the $recycle.bin in each partition, though. These folders are set to HIDDEN and will determine how many things you can put into the recycle bin in each partition. They can be deleted, but will automatically re-spawn when you deleted files.If you don’t like the recycle bin icon, you can hide it.For Windows 8 and 10Right-click on the Desktop.Select Personalize in the pop-up menu.In the left navigation menu, click on Themes.Under Related Settings, click on the Desktop icon settings option.Uncheck the Recycle Bin box and click OK.For Microsoft Windows Vista and 7Right-click on the Desktop.select Personalize in the pop-up menu.In the Personalize appearance and sounds window, click the Change desktop icons link on the left-hand side.Uncheck the Recycle Bin box and click OKEdit: If you set recycle bin to hidden, you can access the deleted files by double clicking the $Recycle.Bin folder mentioned above.More info:Can I Delete Windows Recycle Bin?

Where do all deleted files go after in recycle bin?
Digital files each have an attached small tag of code which contains information to identifies it and enables the computer operating system to find it and retrieve the file when it is called for.In operating system (OS) that provide a recycle bin, when a file is marked for deleting the OS rewrites the ID tag with its location to be found in the recycle bin. The physical location of the file does not change, only the ID tag.When a file is saved, especially a large file it’s data is not normally saved all together. (exception may be when a newly formatted disk is clear of many files. A busy disk will record packets of the file’s data wherever it can find free disk space. Where each of the packets are located is recorded on the ID tag. When a file is deleted, as mentioned above, it is marked as deleted but being also marked as in the recycle bin the disk space used remains reserved.Went the recycle bin is emptied, all files in the bin have their tags erased the disk space is marked as free. New file’s data packets can be written over them. As long as that space remains unused there are programs that can be used to find and undelete deleted files.Files are not actually erased when they are deleted even if a disk is formatted. Formatting a disk clears all tags on all files. Some serious formatting writes 1 & 0 over the whole disk this is called wiping a disk.

Where do I find the recycle bin on Galaxy S6 to delete a video recording so storage space is freed back up?
The S6 (as with any Android phone) does not have a "recycle bin." If you delete a video file and your free space was not reduced, then your used space isn't being taken up by videos (not appreciably anyway).I would highly suggest downloading DU Speed Booster from the Google Play store. It will do a thorough analysis of your phone and help you to remove any junk you have out there that is unnecessary. Best of all, it's free.From the app's main menu, choose "Trash Cleaner" and let it do its bit.While the speed booster and trash cleaner functions are still relevant today, I’d try to steer clear of the “battery saver” functions. If you’re on a modern Android version (i.e. 7.0 or higher), the operating system does a fine job of managing processes which might be draining your battery. You do have to give it a little time to figure it out, but it will.
