Recycle Bin will not empty

I recently deleted a large file and although I can permanently delete the other items from the trash, it will not erase. I right click to remove, but nothing happens.  I read on other forums that the $Recycle.bin could be a problem, but no one explains how to delete this file in plain English!  I tried the solution from the command prompt, but it makes no difference.

Completely forgot that I had to put the same command in for my second hard drive, just done this, restart the computer and if far... can not see the file.  So for now, I think it worked, otherwise I'll get back to you.

I hope it has now healed and I thank you for your help in this matter.

Concerning

Christine

    It helps if you describe what is happening, including the text of the error message, without paraphrasing.

    Your statement may seem perfectly clear to you, but remember that no one else can see your screen.

  • Recycling bin does not load

    I just noticed this problem today. My recycling bin will not open or load. When I go to open it I get the progress bar in the address bar, as it was to load all the files, but not the files never load. I gave her half an hour to load and nothing. In the Task Manager, it is always displayed as running. I went to Safe Mode and I got the same problem.

  • Recycle bin do not see delete

    Hello
    I am using Windows 7 and my trash does not show all the files that I deleted in the last few days.

    If I try to delete a file, it does not appear in the Recycle Bin.

    I already tried to remove the Trash:

    C:\Windows\System32>rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin (for all my readers)

    After doing this, the Recycle Bin has been emptied, but the problem persists.

    If I right click on the Recycle Bin, the option 'don't move files to the Recycle Bin"is unchecked.

    Go to a previous restore point would not be my preferred choice I use the computer strongly.

    Any suggestion?

    I assume that your allotted basket size is too small or you were not "empty" the collector for a LONG time.

    Right click on the Recycle Bin > properties > size under Custom, how many MBs are awarded?
    Mine is 1023 MB. I saw someone almost 5000 MB.

    Increase size, play with the numbers until the darn bac actually works the way it should be.
    Please post back. I'm curious to know the result.

    I can't answer, but the reason why Apple removed the ability of many empty trash is that it does not work with modern and SSD; There is no way to guarantee you're replaces any element as data locations are moved dynamically. Because it is impossible to well to empty the trash that apple decides to not fall asleep in a false sense of security.

  • Will not empty the messages in my Outbox and keep messages to re-mailed every minute.

    Outbox will not be empty

    Will not empty the messages in my Outbox and keep messages to re-mailed every minute.

    You don't have to tell us what e-mail program use. If it's Outlook Express, then this is the answer.

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • Recycle Bin does not update when emptied until the trash window is closed?

    With the help of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center. When I open the trash to view the contents before I empty it and then when ready empty I click the 'Empty Recycle Bin' button in the Ribbon.

    The 'Empty Recycle Bin' gray-out button, but the content is still there?

    When I close the window Recycle Bin desktop icon Recycle Bin shows that it is empty. When I reopen it Recycle Bin is empty.

    There are also opportunities the Office trash opens with a considerable delay (5-15 seconds) after clicking on the icon... and I used to click on the icon again thinking I had... somehow miss-clicked but would get to open after a delay.

    Others have similar problems with the trash?

    Thank you!

    The problem was solved when I upgraded to 8.1 Pro widows.

    Thank you all!

    Default basket have some size limits for storing data, you can see in goto desktop and right-click on the Recycle Bin > properties. In your case, maybe he changed to the limit of small size than that in a few days your windows that display the notification for own trash.

    To increase the maximum size of the Recycle Bin storage.

    1. On the desktop, right-click the Recycle Bin, and then click Properties.

    2. Recycle Bin location, click the location of the Recycle Bin to change (probably your C drive).

    3. Click Custom size, and then, in the maximum size (MB) box, enter a maximum size of storage (in megabytes) for the Recycle Bin.

    4. Click OK.

    Follow the above steps that will help you! Please reply back if doesn't help with the screenshot of this pop - up notification.
