Duplicate (sort of) Recycle(s) on XP

[Sixbells]

Good Morning Everyone;
I have the regular "Recycle Bin" on my Desktop as well as
this mysterious; unable to delete, C:/RECYCLER folder (in
all caps), I suspect one of my anti-virus apps., including
Norton Anti-Virus 2004 or Spyware Begone 2.2. I have
uninstalled/rebooted/shut-down/reinstalled both however
with no joy. HELP PLEASE (and Have a nice day)!

Thanks in advance for taking the effort to help;
Douglas Meredith (Sixbells)

Recycle bin and C:\Recycler are not the same thing... close and related.
Recycled-recycler holds the info on the files that you have sent to the trash bin.
If you double click on one of those big number it will show the files in your
recycle bin. It is suposed to be hidden folder, but you must have show all files enabled...
It also keeps a log of deleted files for some reason. IF you hold the shift key down
and push the delete button, it "nukes" them and bypasses the recycle bin.
