Re: recycle bin file won't delete

If it cant be deleted from Safe Mode then giving permissions for the
file/folder wont do anything. Since Safe Mode already runs in Admin Mode.
At this point it seems you have a stuck file.

From here go into Safe Mode again. Click the Start Orb>Organize>Folder
Options>View Tab. Here you want to show hidden files and uncheck the box to
show hidden system files. It will say that it is recommended to have these
on but for this you need them off. Now go into your C:\ drive. You should
see a file called Recycler in there. You should be able to access this file
and delete all the files that are "stuck". then just put the hidden files
back on and restart. See if that does anything.
