Default Recycle bin issues


I have a problem with my recycle bin. There are two .lnk files in the bin
that refuse to either delete or restore. The only reason that I know that
they're there is through looking at them in the DOS window. I tried to
delete them from the DOS window, but they're in hidden directories, and I
can't seem to get into those directories.

Any help deleting (or restoring) these files would be greatly appreciated.
I realize that they take up practically zero space, but I like to keep my
computer spotlessly clean.

Thanks

Restart computer and go into safe mode by pressing f8 while booting and
choose safe mode and try deleting while in safe mode.
