Recycling Bin

[Devilman]

I hope someone can help with this as it is starting to
get annoying.

My recycling bin is showing that it has a file in it but
when I try to empty the recycling bin I get the following
error message : Cannot remove folder Dc8: The directory
is not empty.

When I double clich the recycling bin to try to restore
the file there is nothing in there. So my question is
this. How do I get rid of the file? Its not causing any
problem it just bothers me that I cant get rid of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Try deleting something else. Create a new folder and delete it. Then open the Recycle
Bin.
See what this does. If it does not help. Check the Bin after you reboot.

Have you tried doing a search for the file? Do that and

see what you get. You might also try starting in Safe mode
and deleting the file.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

I have tried both of these ways to get rid of it but no
luck. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

Dc8 is the file that is in the Recycle bin.

If it makes you feel any better, you are not alone. I just developed this problem.
( I have tried all of Kelly's tricks and still have not fixed it. The file is Dc1.oldi
and is a whopping 0 bytes. I think my problem stemmed from another problem I was having,
trying to delete the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder. I had a WMI problem,
which is now fixed. Fix one problem and another shows up like a bad penny.
One thing I can say is that you learn by experience. With the problems I have, I'm
gonna be an expert one of these days. ;o)

From Kelly T., "A hidden folder is creating on each volume that has the recycle bin
enabled named Recycled. Any deleted files are moved to this folder and renamed to:
C<original drive letter><number file deleted>.<original extension> and the original full
name and path stored in a mapping file Info2. For example the file name:
C:\www.dbknox_faq.com\index.html would become Dc1.html (if it was the first file deleted
on the partition)."
Dc8 is the #8 Deleted file on C:

This worked for me. Run Error Checking (Chkdsk). Then try to delete Dc8.
