Should this not be merged with #9195 ?

A PR (#10113) that was implementing this issue has been made, but removed for limitation issues regarding the current implementation.

A few things to keep in mind for the next person implementing the feature:

• There are several scenarios where the icon needs to be reevaluated:
  -- When files are deleted into the recycle bin
  -- When files are being restored in the recycle bin
  -- When files are being deleted from the recycle bin
  -- When the recycle bin is entirely restored or empty

• The icons should be taken from Constants.ImageRes.

• The indexes for the Constants.ImageRes are namely public const int RecycleBin = 54 and public const int EmptyRecycleBin = 55.

It seems there is an undocumented method from Shell32.dll called SHUpdateRecycleBinIcon that could update the icon of the RecycleBin. Might be useful for that issue.

@NilayParikh33 please do 🙂

I've had trouble fixing this.

[NilayParikh33]

Yes I can try but Actually I have to go through the code because I am new and I don't have understanding of code. So That's why.
