My Recycle Bin is corrupted
A message keeps popping up saying my recycle bin is corrupted and I need to remove it. When I try to do, it won't let me.
It won't let you unless you are an administrator. try to go to your my C:\WINDOWS\system32\ computer folder, then right click on cmd.exe and run as administrator
If successful you should see administrator: command prompt
then enter the following lines in the order
CD.
RD /s /q $recycle.bin
Note that you can type in the first part of $recycle.bin and press the tab key to complete the line reduces the risk of typing error in the folder, the command does not work unless you get the right folder name
for example
CD.
RD /s /q / $recy [press the TAB key.

I felt it necessary to do a restore on my computer but it is fruitless because my recycle bin is corrupted. How can I fix with doing a reinstall of windows vista
'Restore' as in 'System restore' built into Windows to restore the settings from the registry/return days or the "Restore" method as in OEM (manufacturer) for restoring the computer to the factory settings?
I'll assume former...
If there is ANYTHING you need retsored the trash - can be emptied permanently... You can try this:
1. open an elevated command prompt window. To open a command prompt, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator.
2. type the following command and press ENTER:
RD /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin(This clears the record $Recycle.bin to the C:\ drive.) You may need to do this for each partition in your system).
3. type exit to close the command prompt window.

file $rafsykh in the recycling bin seems to be store empty even when items
Tonight I used windirstat (http://windirstat.info/) to search for large files that I could remove to make more space on my hard drive and found about 7 GB in the trash, even after it had been emptied. The files are in a folder called $rafsykh and contains music files that were there when I emptied a few days ago. If I go into this folder, I can actually play the files, while they in fact seem to be there.
A few photos
output of WinDirStat
http://img.Photobucket.com/albums/V302/dankarak/WinDirStat.jpg
invite cmd, I was able to open the files
http://img.Photobucket.com/albums/V302/dankarak/cmdPrompt.jpg
Basket is empty
http://img.Photobucket.com/albums/V302/dankarak/rbin.jpgWhat is $rafsykh, why are the files still there and how I remove them? These files are so that they can be restored?
It seems that your Recycle Bin is corrupted.
You can remove it using this procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/131294-recycle-bin-corrupted-cannot-delete-file-folder.html
The Recycle Bin on Vista, it works that the two files are created: Let's start with R$ and the other with I$ followed by a random string. The I$ file contains metadata that and rhe $R file contains the original data. Eventually the $I file has been deleted, but something stopped deleting the $R file.
-The 1000 at the end of the SID indicates that these files belong to the first account created on the computer. If it is different from the account that you use to display the Recycle Bin you will not see them. A user only sees the content of the trash that they have created.

Recycle Bin in Windows Vista is empty but still shows the icon there files it contains?
Recently, I noticed that my trash wasn't showing it was empty, although there is nothing in the tray. This is also true when there is something in the tray, it will show as empty when I know that there is a file in there. I have run norton security, and I doubt that I have a virus on my system. How can I fix it?
Hi DdigitalD,
This behavior can occur if the Recycle Bin is corrupted; I suggest you follow the steps in the link below that relates to a similar question by Gokul T.
Important: procedure provided in the link permanently deletes all the files and folders that are already in the trash (from all the user accounts in the system) and can not be recovered.
Thank you, and in what concerns:
