Recycle Bin Corrupt Error
For some time now, after I delete something, when I go to the Deleted folder, it's empty. When trying to access the folder I sometimes get the message that the recycle bin is corrupt. I have gone to Microsoft's downloads & done the recommended fixes, but I still have nothing in the deleted folder. Is anyone else getting this or been able to fix it? I have XP, and this started recently, not since I bought the PC new.

The window "Global" has a checkbox for instant deletion (on/off). Yours may have been checked to remove deleted files from the hard drive (as opposed to storing them in the Recyc Bin.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Recycle Bin Corrupt Error
Try deleting the recycler folder(s), Windows will recreate it when you
reboot. From a command prompt issue the following command: rd /s /q c:\recycler If you have more than one drive you will have to issue the command for each drive, changing the c: with the appropriate drive letter. If you have more than one user on the machine all recycle bins will be emptied. John Trish Finney wrote: For some time now, after I delete something, when I go to the Deleted folder, it's empty.

When I typed that in I got a message that says Windows "can't find rd" . I
tried using d instead of rd and got "Windows can't find d". -- Trish Finney "John John (MVP)" wrote in message ... Try deleting the recycler folder(s), Windows will recreate it when you reboot.
