| Newbie | Re: Recycle Bin Corrupted - Cannot Delete File or Folder Here is my problem. I have a full recycle bin. I empty it. The icon still shows it's full, although the folder is empty. I hit F5, the icon returns to an empty one. I then load the RB with unwanted files. RB Folder is full, but the RB icon is an RB empty icon. I hit F5 as suggested, the icon is corrected. The problem is I always have to hit F5 to correct the situation. I decided to go a step further and follow "How to Fix a Corrupted Recycle Bin in Vista" as explained above and found out I don't even have a $RECYCLE.BIN folder under C or any other hard drive I have. Yes "show hidden files etc" is checked in folder options. Any tips? |

| Administrator | Re: Recycle Bin Corrupted - Cannot Delete File or Folder Hello Alpino, and welcome to Vista Forums. This tutorial below should fix the refreshing issue, but since you do not have the $RECYCLE.BIN folder, you should restart the computer to have Vista restore it. Recycle Bin Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Administrator | Re: Recycle Bin Corrupted - Cannot Delete File or Folder Hi Darcoolio, and welcome to Vista Forums. Have you also already tried Method One? You might also run a sfc /scannow command to see if it can find and fix any bad system files that may be the cause. System Files - SFC Command Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Junior Member | Re: Recycle Bin Corrupted - Cannot Delete File or Folder Thanks Shawn. Everywhere else I looked (via Google) wanted me to download a utility of some sort. I did have to un-check the Hide protected Operating System file to see the Recycle Bin... but it worked. Thanks again. -JJ |
