Problems with recycler!!!

[jeff]

This past weekend I started a project to clean off my
computer. I have some files located in the
C:\recycler\nprotect directory that I cannot delete.
There are 11 files located there taking up almost 6GB of
space. The files are named 00003151., 00003176,
0003252.0, 00016586. etc. Whenever I try to delete these
files I receive the message the system cannot find the
file specified. I can only see these files at the Dos
prompt. Any ideas?

jeff,

They are Norton protected files and to remove them;

Under Windows 2000/XP
1. Right-click the Recycle Bin icon, and choose Properties.
2. Select the Global tab.
3. Select the "Use One Settings for All Drives" radio button.
4. Select the Recycle Bin tab.
5. Select the "Standard Recycle Bin" radio button.
6. Change the text in the Title box to "Recycle Bin."
7. Uncheck "Show Norton Protection Status" if possible.
8. Select the Norton Protection tab.
9. Select a drive and uncheck Enable Protection. Repeat for each drive.
10. Select the "Also Empty Protected Files" option.
11. Click OK twice.
12. Reboot the computer.
