Trying to empty the bin asks if I want to delete the items. I can manually copy the files out but of course the names are not correct (DcXX). The INFO2 file shows the paths and names but I am not sure which ones match up. Any ideas?	Agent_24 (57)

I'm not sure but perhaps this is the reason the recycle bin is not working. I tried editing the INFO2 file in a hex editor to remove that 2nd #27 entry but either I did it wrong or something else is a problem because the files still do not show up. However, I have the files and their names now so I guess I can rename them and figure everything out anyway...	Agent_24 (57)
