Vista - Recycle Bin - Restore

still get a message "Recycle Bin on C:\ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?" Dialogue box appears saying Deleting 4 items (91.3MB) When actually there are no files appearing in the Recycle Bin. Under the Heading it says "$Recycle.Bin (C:\$Recycle.Bin) Discovered 0 items (0 bytes).... and the bar showing per cent of completion begins and 1/3 of the way to finiishing another Dialogue box appears that says "the action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program" which there are no other programs running and the next line says "Close the file and try again". There are no files in use to close but the file that is shown in the dailogue box is a Quickbooks file which is a file that resembles no Quickbooks file I have ever seen.

Hello Jim, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might try this tutorial instead. It should work better for this problem. If the "the action cannot be completed because the file is open in another program" error will not let you do the tutorial, then try doing it in Safe Mode instead.

hey brink i deleted the recycle bin and thought that i can bring it back but the recycle bin option is already checked in desktop properties and i cannot get it back| please help!

Hello Dinesh,

See if toggling it on and off may help. Also check the TIP box at the top of this tutorial to see if any of it may apply to you. If all of that fails, try a restart.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
