I recently installed Windows 2000 on a drive that was previously
partitioned and had numerous files in other partitions. My previous
Windows 2000 pro OS was on another drive that had Norton AV on it. When I
uninstalled the Norton AV, my recycle bin seemed to lose all it's
properties and ability to empty. I tried all the MS site suggestions to no
avail, so I loaded a new install of Windows 2000.
Now the recycle bin is back, but I've noticed that the recycler directory
(usually hidden) on my various partitions can't seem to be emptied. I have
at least a gig of old files in there from before the new install. How can
I clean out the various recycler directories? I can empty my current
recycle bin, but it doesn't seem to free up the space occupied by the files
that are still in the recycler directories.
