52420 2002-06-04 08:53:00 The Recycle Icon on my desktop appears to be full. When I right click it and click on 'Empty Bin' I`m asked if I realy want to delete all 110 items!!!! When I open Recycle Bin the page is empty. Does anyone have any suggestions. I`m not even sure what is in the bin either.
Thanks in advance, Iris

Select show all files. (Default is hide system and hidden files)
Click OK.

Now open Recycle Bin. You should be able to see all the files in the Bin

Ideas?

A while ago I had a simmiler problem, and someone suggested the following.
" Typing C:\recycled in the address bar, which I did and under the C: drive when I scrolled down a new folder appeared and in that folder was the deleted folder and files. So tried deleting the files but no joy, so I deleted the folder and behold the folder and all in it vanished. the desktop icon now has no paper in it any more. And when I delete now, the folders or files appear in the recycle bin and I can see them".

Hope this helps in some way.

Cheers merlin-nz :)
