Recycle bin doesn't show files

[Chad]

My recycle bin has not been showing me the files that are
sent to it. Therefore I can not pick and choose which
files to restore or delete. I know I am sending files to
the bin. Any ideas?

 

[Ramesh [MVP]]

Right-click Recycle Bin > Properties > Uncheck the option "Do not move files
to recycle bin......

IMPORTANT: All the files deleted previously will be erased permanently.

If this does not help, create a dummy notepad document and save it. Delete
the file and let it go to recycle bin.
Now, empty recycle-bin

Solution 2: You may want to delete the Recycled folder or follow Kelly
Theriot's repair solution. (Deleting the info2 file). That should definitely
solve it. You may need to restart Windows after that.
