Can you see this bin such as C:\Recycler\bin or is it in the object you see when you select the Recycler folder? Fact is this is an indication of a hack. The folders may have illegal names such as leading spaces.

The easiest way to clean up Recycle Bin problems is to delete the entire
Recycler folder from the command line:

rd /s \Recycler
