Deleting files from the Recycle Bin
I'm removing three trash .avi files. I get the error message: "cannot delete dgx:file is used by another program or user; Close the program and try again." The x in the dg can be 2, 4 or 5 depending on the .avi should be deleted. First of all, the files are not called "dgx" and I do not know what program to close.
Hello and thanks for the reply. Google and tried one solution. Right click and cut the file, the computer restarts, then deleted and removed. I forgot to mention that these files were initially removed from the external drive. If the cut function should have taken control of the external hard drive (e.g. by the user). That seems reasonable? Yes, safe mode would have been my next test. Thanks again.
YW. I'm glad that you have built it. Your deduction seems very logical. Bruce Hagen ~ MS - MVP [Mail]

Cannot delete files from the Recycle Bin
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:
- On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin.
- Then click the Empty trash to empty its contents.
- You will be asked if you are sure that before it permanently deletes the files.
- If you're absolutely sure, then click Yes to clear the contents of the Recycle Bin.
- Alternatively, you can double-click the Recycle Bin to open and examine its contents.
- And then on the file menu, click empty the Recycle Bin.
- 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.
Good luck!

I have a lot of old e-mail files I try to delete, but they remain in the file from the Recycle Bin of 2009. How can I get rid of them?
If you have an IMAP account, go to Mail/preferences/accounts/box mailbox behaviors and make sure that the store deleted messages on the server is not checked. If this is the case, uncheck the box and see if you can remove the trash.
If that is not working, go to Mail/trash, select an e-mail message and then control - click/Delete. Does it work?

original title: permanently deleted files?
I am running Windows Vista and I deleted some files from the Recycle Bin permanently inadvertently. They can be restored?
Immediately stop using your computer for something else. Download and run a program like Recuva file recovery. It might be able to help.

How to select anything to delete e-mails in the file from the Recycle Bin
In outlook express to remove all the files deleted permanently, I could simply select all and remove the hit. I can't find how "select all" in the new e-mail program
You can do this in three different ways:
- Click on deleted items, and then choose "empty deleted items folder.
- Using the mouse, select the first mail in the list, and then hold down the SHIFT key and select the last one in the list, right-click and choose Remove.
- Select (click) on the first mail from the list, and then press CTRL + A, and then press the DEL (delete) key.

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?
Try to keep the Option key while emptying the trash.

cannot empty a file from the Recycle Bin
I have the file I can move to the trash on the desktop, but when I try to empty the trash he says that it is in use. I left the program that opens and even changed the name of the program of xlsx to wrd in the suffix, and nothing can stop it so I can delete.
Something more old but hold down the option key by emptying the trash. If this does not work, then restart the computer.

I think the bug has something to do with the partitions created with TrueCrypt.
Hi, I have the same problem and never tried TrueCrypt. I suspect that the problem is elsewhere.
I also tried the command "rd" and ccleaner. no luck... I'm always, too, waiting for a solution
I think the bug has something to do with the partitions created with TrueCrypt.Indeed. Make the truecrypt as removable disk volume in options of fixed the problem :)
