Recycle Bin doesn't erase files

Hi there guys!

i'm having a problem here.... since yesterday i cannot empty my Recycle Bin
.... the files i delete are moved there, but, when i right-click to "empty
recycle bin" .. it simply does nothing... and the SHIFT+DEL shortcut also
isn't working anymore ...

'til earlier i could empty the recycle bin by selecting the files that where
inside it and then deleting it again.. but it also isn't working anymore ....

i'm using Vista Ultimate... and i don't use a "restore point" ... anyone
knows how to solve this? or already had this problem?

thx in advance...

Re: Recycle Bin doesn't erase files

Have you tried to delete your recycle bin? (Right-click; select delete)
If you can, when you next boot up Vista will recreate the recycle bin. It may be that your bin is 'corrupted' thus stopping you from deleting from the recycle bin.
