The Recycle Bin was now empty. I rebooted and checked my Recycle Bin to make sure it was indeed empty. I then opened Disk Cleanup and Recycle Bin was already checked, even though it was empty. I checked my Recycle Bin again after opening Disk Cleanup and it was empty. I don't know if Disk Cleanup can be corrupted. In any event, I couldn't find any method for uninstalling and reinstalling it. I'll run sfc and see if that helps. As I said before, it doesn't really matter to me if it is checked or unchecked. Thanks for your reply. C.B. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I suppose as long as it is working properly now. Shawn |
