Oh well, nothing lost. I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas. Good luck and hope you find a solution,
Regards,
Alan.

Thanks Alan but this did not solve my problem. Showman says my Recycke Bin is
empty.
I think the problem can be more related to that I share the files with my
xbox360 because I can see deleted folders on the TV. They are not shown in
WMP:s library. There I can only see the deleted files. When I look on the
path for the file is show the location it was in before it got deleted.
Any other suggestions?

A possibility, download 'Showman' from David Taylors excellent free website,
link below. It's a utility that shows you the usage of your hard drive. Run
the program and select your 'C' drive, it takes a minute or two to do this
and then check to see how much is in the recycle bin. I had the same problem
with links showing up to non existent files and it turned out to be the
recycle bin was corrupt. It showed empty when viewed, but 'Showman' revealed
that I had 25 odd gigs in it.
If this is the case the answer is as follows.
Control Panel (Classic View) > Folder Options > View > uncheck 'Hide
protected operating system files' > Click Yes to the warning message.
Computer > 'C' Drive. You'll see a hidden folder called $RECYCLE.BIN >
Delete this folder, click 'Yes' or OK to the warning messages, Windows will
immediately create a new one, it it doesn't, press f5.
You may get a message saying 'Can't delete, file in use' If you do, restart
the machine and you will be able to delete it.
Recheck 'Hide protected operating system files' in the control panel, it's
important that you do this.
This came to light for me when using Webroot's Window Washer. A wash was
taking forever and showing me files that I knew I had deleted. It seems that
if you delete very big files, over 3 or 4 gigs which I had been doing,
(Camcorder files), the recycle bin can't cope with it.

Alan.
