     Yes, but it's called 'the Trash'. And like on Windows, it's a per-app   
   function. (I don't know which 'apps' other than (Windows) File Explorer   
   use the Recycle Bin.)   
      
     An advantage of the Android-type Trash is that it is timed, typically   
   for 30 days, so after an item is deleted, it will be kept for 30 days.   
      
     So my Windows Recycle Bin is nearly always empty, because I don't like   
   cruft, but my Android Trash cans just empty themselves.   
      
     (And yes, I of course saw and noted the smiley.)
