Recycle Bin

[Janet]

There are three files in my recycle bin which I absolutely
cannot delete. An error message pops up saying "Can't
delete Dc987." Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

While files and folders are in the Recycle Bin, there is a "Restore"
option available for each item. The Recyle Bin uses an info file to keep
track of the files' original locations. "Dc987" is a typical file
reference found in this hidden file. Seeing that type of reference while
working directly with the Recycle Bin is not a good thing. MVP Doug Knox
has a tool on his website that you can use to fix this:
