Hello,
Open an elevated CMD prompt.
First run chkdsk on the volume to check for file corruption.
if that doesn't help then try.
from the root of the C drive.
cd $recycle.bin
now do a dir /a /s >c:\filelist.txt
use notepad to open filelist.txt
Look for files or folders with non-alphanumeric characters in them.
try manually deleting those files or folders using wild cards (* or ? for
example)
For a file like D&lete.me you could try using del D?lete.me to attempt to
delete the file
The question mark replaces the single character that may be causing the
isuse

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
