I can't find my bin folder. Where is it located?

The other day I was trying to download something for Minecraft and it involved my bin folder. So I was looking for it and couldn't find it. I then thought that I might have accidentally deleted it, but didn't find it in the trash. I have no idea how to get the bin folder back with all the Minecraft binary files in them.

Pre 1.6 (Old Launcher)

If you deleted your bin directory it will be recreated when you launch the Minecraft client.

If the client starts up, your bin directory is almost certainly at:

Windows: C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft or %AppData%\.minecraft
Linux: ~/.minecraft
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft

Post 1.6.1 (New Launcher)

The new launcher does not create a bin directory. Instead, there is one folder for every installed different version of the game, located in the folder versions in your Minecraft directory (see above). For example 1.7.10, or 14w30c. Note that multiple profiles can use the same version and there will only be one folder.

Where is the bin folder located?

By default, the Recycle Bin should be present in the upper-left corner of your desktop in both Windows 10 and Windows 11. We find this the easiest way to access the Recycle Bin. Find the icon on your desktop, then either select it and press Enter on your keyboard, or double-click or double-tap on it to open the folder.

How do I locate my Recycle Bin?

There is no Recycle Bin in Android. There is just a Recent Deleted folder in the Photos app. When you delete a photo or a video, it will be moved to the Recent Deleted folder and stay there for 30 days. You can restore it within 30 days.

In Finder, simply select a file and choose File > Move to Trash in the menu bar, or right-click the item and select \u201cMove to Trash.\u201d
