Norton Protected Recycle Bin???
If not...
Try deleting something and then empty the Recycle Bin again.
When viewing the Desktop, hit the F5 key to refresh.
If that doesn't do it...
You may have a damaged/corrupted file in the Recycle Bin.
Run Error Checking | Reboot | Try to empty the Recycle Bin again.
1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the volume you want to
check, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Do one of the following:
o To run Chkdsk by using the /f parameter, select the Automatically fix file
system errors check box, and then click Start.
[[Specifies whether Windows repairs file-system errors found during disk
checking. All files must be closed for this program to run. If the drive is
currently in use, a message asks if you want to reschedule
the disk checking for the next time you restart your computer. Your drive is
not available to run other tasks while the disk is being checked.]]
o To run Chkdsk by using the /r parameter, select the Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors check box, and then click Start.
[[Specifies whether Windows repairs file-system errors found during disk

to select Automatically fix file system errors. Windows fixes any errors on
the disk.]]
You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.
