recycle bin icon does not empty

I deleted the recycle bin accidentally. I restored it using
Personalize/Change desktop icons. However, when I click on "Empty Recycle
Bin" the bin greys out, but does not revert to an empty bin. The empty bin
shows up only after I reboot.

How can I fix this?

Thank you.

Re: recycle bin icon does not empty

go to personalize and change the theme then get out and you can go back and
change the theme back and your delete folder should start working again.
