? Ghost in recycle bin
I know Holloween has come and gone, but not according to my recycle bin. the
icon has never showed to be completely emptied. If i try to empty the bin, I will get a msg asking if i want to delete these 3 items ( but I can't see any file in the bin). If i then click yes.. an error msg pops up stating *can not remove folder Justin, can not find the specified file*. It's not a major nuisance as it does not appear to cause any harm, does anyone has an answer ?? |

? Ghost in recycle bin
is it winXP? Try booting into safe-mode, log on as administrator(not an
account with admin rights), see if anything shows up (set yourself up to see hidden folders/files, and not to hide files w/known extensions). Do this under folder options in control panel. If they show up, and you still cant delete them, try taking ownership of the files, then try. |
