Hi,

Any chance you are running Norton's Protected Bin?

no, sorry Rick, didnt meen to reply , SORRY GROUP!
No nortons isnt installed, the recycler folder is 2.5Gb big though, even
after emptying recycle bin. Is this normal or is it definitely something
installed thats causing it?
installed is XP pro sp2 , partition magic pro 7 , tweakui, thats all i can
think of that might be causing anything wierd.
 
Hi,

It can happen when there are multiple users, and you are deleting just your
user's deleted files.
