You probably 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. Select both of these:
* Automatically fix file system errors
* Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
A message will popup.
[[The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs
exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be
accessed only by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule this disk check
to occur the next time you restart the computer?]]
Click YES.
You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.
Then reboot.
For a peek at the chkdisk log.
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK
Look in Application | Listed as Information
under Winlogon, Event 1001

In news:mason204.2k7zsv@xxxxxxxxxxxx,
mason204 <mason204.2k7zsv@xxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I'm running Windows XP Pro, SP2 and am having an unusual problem.
My recycle bin appears empty but when I go into DOS, there are kinds of
files in c:\recycler. I have set all my options to show hidden files as
well as ensuring that when I delete files, they don't bypass the recycle
bin.
I tried to delete my c:\recycler folder in DOS hoping that the system
would recreate the recycle bin but some of the files in there won't
delete, so I can't seem to get rid of the directories.
Also, I was having problems downloading and installing Quicktime. I
went to an alternate computer, downloaded quicktime to a portable
drive, then copied the file to my XP Pro machine. Although I know the
file is on the desktop, there is no icon. Same situation as is
happening with my recycle bin. Again, if I go into DOS, I can see the
file on my desktop. If I go to Start/File/Run and type in the path, I
can get the program to run.
I've run every anti-virus and malware program known to man and do
believe there is no virus. Coincidentally, the problems started
happening when I uninstalled Norton Systemworks months ago.
Any advice on fixing the problems?
Thank you.
