  Hello

  I'm unable to access my trash, everythime I click on the folder, it says windows Explorer has a problem, then said restarting windows.

  And the window just closes, it is there anyway to delete the files from the trash bin other than to go to the folder it self.

  See you soon

  Here is an article on how to repair a trash corrupted in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/131294-recycle-bin-corrupted-cannot-delete-file-folder.html.

  It restarts if you left or do a right-click on the icon or both?  Here are a few ways to empty it by using two methods:

  1. On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin.
  2. Then click the Empty trash to empty its contents.
  3. You will be asked if you are sure that before it permanently deletes the files.
  4. If you're absolutely sure, then click Yes to clear the contents of the Recycle Bin.
  5. Alternatively, you can double-click the Recycle Bin to open and examine its contents.
  6. And then on the file menu, click empty the Recycle Bin.
  7. After confirmation, Windows Vista will be empty all files from the Recycle Bin.

  Go to control panel / customization / Desktop Icons and remove the trash, click OK and close.  Then go back and add the trash.  See if the new basket has the same problem.

  Here is a program that you download that adds a command to empty the trash to the command line if all that you need to do is type of the command in the box search now and it will happen. http://itsvista.com/2007/01/itsvista-tip-23-empty-vistas-recycle-bin-from-the-command-line/.

  I hope this helps.

  I also tried sudo rm... and used my pw for the user account, but it does not work

  I have an administrator account on the operating system as well, so I recorded it and tried to erase the inode, but he wouldn't let me leave the user account.

  I think I need to get the full rights of the Admin account while I am in the user account...

  any ideas?

• Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

  Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

  I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

  * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

  I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

  If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

  C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
  Checks a disk and displays a status report.

  [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

  volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point or volume name.
  filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
  /F fixes errors on the disk.
  /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
  on the disk.
  On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
  (implies / f).
  L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
  of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
  size.
  /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
  All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
  (implies / f).
  /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
  structure.
  /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
  (implies / r)

  The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
  skip certain checks of the volume.

  Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.

• Cannot delete emails to the trash folder - get the error message that there is no such thing as trash.

  Normal action when I delete an email - it usually goes to the trash.
  Now, it remains in the Inbox and I get the following error message:

  The 'Inbox' ongoing operation has failed. The e-mail server for this folder has responded: there is no mailbox (TRYCREATE): Trash.

  I checked the dialog box location under choice of account of this folder and the Info for the Trash subfolder is the same for the other subfolders.

  SDuffy,

  Thanks for posting back the trash became operational after restarted Thunderbird. I'll mark your answer as solving the problem.

• Sudden CPU hogging + cannot delete files on the desktop

  I was with earlier FL Studio to make music, then I exported a bunch of files .wav (as separate channels) to my office. Now, there are 14 ".wav" files on my desk I have is no longer necessary. When I try to highlight all remove, a dialg box opens saying "ready to remove" then below, he has time to outbound... Calculation... and this box stays on forever without change. I try to put an end to the session, had not responding alarm and needs to restart windows Explorer. I try to delete one by one, same thing. I tried to remove/change any other file as these 14 .wav files, they all deletions or works normally, no worries. I even deleted a ".midi" file exported from the same FL Studio software without problem, which begs the question. Why can I not delete/modify(move, copy, chk properties) these 14 .wav files. Looks like Windows Explorer crashes whenever I try to delete them. Right-click on one of the files, and then click Properties, nothing happens. I tried several times after restarting Windows, same thing. Another question that occur almost at the same time, it's that I noticed my cpu (Athlon II x 4 @2. 8 GHz) has been constantly in use about 60% (on all 4 cores). For comparison in normal operation, running a demanding application such as Call of Duty 4 game uses as much (~ 60% I checked) resource CPU. Before that, when I check my cpu just after startup, it uses 0-2% now after starting, using 50-75% CONSTANTLY immediately even during moments of rest. When I check the process, a call app "dllhost.exe alias COM Surrogate" has listed 25 under CPU constantly while all other open processes are considered to be 00 or 01 under the same parameter. I tried ending the process both the process of the "dllhost.exe" tree, but it starts immediately with the same listed 25 under CPU and my CPU resource still used up to about 60%. This is all very curious because they all seems to happen at the same time and without precursor of actions/mistakes. Someone help me please to solve these problems or at least let me know what could possibly cause these symptoms.

  My specs: CPU Athlon II 630 x 4 @2. 8 GHz, RAM 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM 1333 MHz, Nvidia 9600GT GPU, Momentus XT hybrid total HDD(7200rpm/4Gb SSM) 250 GB (112 GB free), 64-bit OS Windows 7 (latest updates installed), DirectX11

  Yes, my system problems have been resolved. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you guys. After working with the engineer for a few days, we finally found a way to remove the files and stop hogging it, but it is a partial correction because the primary cause remains until Microsoft release a patch for this problem, I was not billed by the Department because he is an anomaly in the Microsoft System in addition to the cooperative solution approach.

  The only solution is to delete the problematic files and install the latest updates for Windows and all that software output of the file (in my case FL Studio). You'll need the Microsoft Windows Performance toolkit, scanned your system for the source of cpu and use PWS mem to identify files in use by dllhost, then kill all services except those who criticize. Make sure that you do not access these files on the issue. The only way to remove these problem files is back. First of all, you need to change the access right for your ACL by using the CACLS command. Once you have changed for each of the file paths you want to delete, you can delete each files * separately *. After the removal, you will need to restart your computer. then your pc should run normally with the normal CPU usage below.

• Cannot delete files in the folder empty my RoboHelp projects.

  RoboHelp 2015 (12.0.2.384)

  Cannot delete empty folders. I get an error message "cannot find this item. Tried to remove from the project manager, Explorer and BACK.

  He eventually managed to delete this folder. I had to go back and find the hidden folder and delete it. BACK in fact my headache. I have used FileZilla because our company does not allow us to install whatever it is untrusted. I believe RoboHelp must do something under the covers and was a reference to that folder that I couldn't find.

• XP corrupted user profile. Copy the files to the new profile. Access denied

  I have been using my administrator as the profile of my work profile. Recently, my profile became corrupted and I implemented a new Administrator profile. However I'm unable to access my old files or e-mails in outlook.

  The instructions I found explain how to copy a profile to another user when logged in as an administrator of third. I followed these instructions, but when I try to highlight the files in my old (corrupt) profile I get the access denied error message. He also told me that the folder is empty when I know that it is not. I get the result even if I try to do it from any administrator account. Help!

  General file recovery

  If you stop using the drive, it is possible to recover files that have not been overwritten by using the recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, recovering files or TechTool Prodeleted.  Each of the previous ones come on a bootable CD for use without risk of writing, more data on the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are disc drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos to MacUpdate or CNET downloads. Recovery software generally provide trial versions that allows you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond that, or if the drive has completely failed, you must send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.

  The hard drive remains the most widely used and the data are recorded, the greater the chance that your deleted files will be overwritten.
