Hello,
When I delete files from my computer, the Recycle bin
always has the "full" icon displayed and I have no
problems emptying it. However, when I open it, it shows
itself to be empty. There are no details of the deleted
files whatsoever.
What did I do wrong or better what do I do to restore
it ? Thx a lot !
 
See http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rb. This issue appears to be
caused by corruption of the INFO2 file in the Recycled or Recycler folder.
This is a hidden file that isn't easily visible via Windows Explorer, and so
far, there's no easy way to rebuild it. This link has information on how
to recover files that are in the Recylce Bin.

Notes: If you have multiple NTFS drives/partitions, there may be a Recycler
folder on each.

Some users have reported that adjusting the size of the Recycle Bin up,
applying the change, then adjusting it back down may fix this problem.
