I have a "Recycled" bin in one of my users folders that I cannot remove all the deleted files from. It shows empty, but when I look at the properties It shows how many folders, files, and the size of the bin. How do I perminately delete these items? They are not hidden so I dont know what to do. Every time I zip the folder that contains the recycling bin, it gives me the files I deleted. I moved the bin to another folder, will do anything to it? HELP PLEASE.....
 
Hi
Try from DOS going to say C:\recycled and del *.* this should remove all files in the bin.
