This is a common problem.
I have seen this myself on my machine.
[[Are you sure you want to delete WINDOWS?]]
Makes you stop and think when you see that message, doesn't it? ;-)
You probably have a damaged/corrupted file in the Recycle Bin.
Run Error Checking | Reboot | Try to empty the Recycle Bin again.
1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the volume you want to
check, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Select both of these:
o Automatically fix file system errors
o Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.
For a peek at the chkdisk log.
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | OK
Look in Application | Listed as Information
under Winlogon, Event 1001
