Where has the Recycle bin gone?

Please can anyone tell me where I can find the Recycle Bin now? I used to be able to find it easily.

    Do you mean the Deleted Files page? If so, it hasn't changed or moved. You can find it on the left side of the page when signed in to your account.

    Thank you so much for your reply. However I don’t appear to have this menu anywhere
. Should this be on the Home tab, the Files tab or the Account tab?

    I am using the Dropbox app. Actually
 when I clicked on the blue Deleted Files link in your message it took me to my account online and the menu did appear there, but it doesn’t on the app.

    It doesn't exist in the app. You can only access Deleted Files through the Dropbox website.
