Right-click on your recycle bin and select PROPERTIES.
Click the LOCAL DISK (C) tab and see how much space you
have reserved for deleted files. When you put more stuff
in my recycle bin than you have space alotted, Windows
will remove overage automatically. If you have a 20 GB
harddrive and have maybe 10% allocated, it will store only
up to 2 GB there. Hope this is the problem.
