Hi roger,

thanks. I suppose deleting the folder will empty the recycle bin as well?

     Hi Thomas,
     
     The command will erase the recycle bin folder. Being a system folder,
     it will be recreated, hopefully without the problems it is
     experiencing now.
     
     I've tried the command on my system, and it erased the bin, this was
     recreated with no harmful effects.
     
     Good luck
