Solve : empty recycle bin?

Answer»

when ever i go to my recycle bin it is empty.i can delete files from documents,pictures emails .any other source.but when i look in my bin it's empty .can anyone tell me why.where are they going.Forgive a silly question, but are you set up to use the Recycle Bin for deleted items? Right-click on the icon, select Properties, and check the settings.not sure if this is what you mean .but.it says'    DOC's=335gb//windows 7-130gb // max size 10210. this box is ticked.
the one underneath is not.I honestly don't know what you are looking at. What version of Windows are you using? And when you right-click on the trash bin and select "properties" you should see options to enable and disable moving deleted items to the recycle bin and setting custom sizes for the bin. Thats' what i thought Allan.thats what i used to see along TIME ago .i am using windows 7 home .now i get a white page.with catagories on
the left ,doc' music  video ,ect. and the tool bar at the top with , file  EDIT  view  tools ect.it dose'nt even look like the right page.
 
,Can you post a screen shot?

Also, see if anything here helps: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/fix-corrupted-recycle-bin-windows-7-vista/Morning Allan i tried your link but could not get anything.(dont know what i'm doing wrong.) tried sending a screnshot but it wont work

Thats because you left clicked instead of right clicked

Right-click on the icon (the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop) select Properties, and check the settings.

Uncheck the 2nd option. Quote from: ivanoe on November 20, 2012, 12:59:03 AM

Keep in mind deleting emails may not send them to the Recycle Bin. This is because email clients (Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.) have their own Deleted Items folder where messages deleted from other FOLDERS are normally sent.  So, in a sense, email clients have their own recycle bin.  To permanently delete email messages, you need to empty the Deleted Items, or Trash, folder. I WOULD like to thank all who came  to my aid.on this subject .you where all great .but i especially want to thank JASON 2074.
your answer did the trick i changed my number to 405.and it worked i now have my recycle bin back.
