Recycle Bin problems in Windows 7
Using Windows 7
Normally, when I delete files and folders, they are dumped into the trash. This time, I went through most of my files temporary and deleted a whole bunch of folders and files. Surprisingly, my basket is empty. Where the folders and files gone and why?
Right-click on the Recycle Bin and select Properties. You will find the parameters that can cause this.
It is also possible that you have installed a software that is supposed to make your computer work better which does this for you. Alternatively, it could be malware.

Windows XP Recycle bin gel to the top
My XP machine went through a period of constant application freezes. I had to manually stop because all GUI functions has been lost, including start them and taskbar.
Most of the fixed problems got system restore. Now my recycle bin is frozen. I can't empty it. Clicking on it produces only "shortened, cut, paste and delete" options but "empty" option and the remains of the shaded icon. Is there a way to solve this problem without another system restore?Hi JEREMIAHDAVIS,
Check out the links below and run the fixit tool available, check if it helps.
