Did you use the SUBST command to create a virtual drive? Either way, see if
this helps and good luck!

Suggestion:

Make sure that something is in the Recycle Bin (delete any file). With the
Recycle Bin closed, right click and choose: Empty Recycle Bin. When the
confirm box appears, click ok. Reboot. Now the Recycle Bin should work
correctly.

Another option: rd /s /q c:\recycler
