Hey all. New to forum. Here's the issue. I have 56 items in recycle bin.
When I try to empty (right click, etc....) as soon as I click empty it acts
like it's doing it but never will. It's set for an hour. If I try to run a
virus scan it locks up on a c:\recycler folder. i'm wondering what's up
here. thanks
 
Try deleting the recycler folder(s), Windows will recreate it when you
reboot. From a command prompt isssue the following command:

rd /s /q c:\recycler

Remember that 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.
