Recycle Bin can be enabled on a mapped network drive by defining a Known Folder in the registry. (Also a way to create custom user folders. For adding folders to This PC, though, it seems you need to create a CLSID entry instead; use Winaero Tweaker for that.)

@JF6723 So you're able to recycle files but can't restore or empty the recycle bin? Odd, I haven't encountered that before so unfortunately I don't know of a solution. My only thought is to delete/rename the $RECYCLE.BIN directory from the terminal and try deleting & restoring a file again; maybe something got borked. Could be related to permissions... though probably not, if command prompt works. The Security tab doesn't show up in the Properties for a recycle bin, but you can
$(Get-Acl '$RECYCLE.BIN').Access
from PowerShell to check anyway. That's about all I can think of right now, I'm afraid.
