Solve : RECYCLE BIN ALWAYS EMPTY?

Answer»

Hello good people,

I was ABLE to get rid of the empty folder Dc53 in my recycle bin by following steps at http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/990228.htm HOWEVER I started having the following issues with my recycle bin:

1. When I restart my machine, I get " Recycle Bin on drive C: is corrupted. Do you want to empty the recycle bin for this drive?"


2. The recycle bin remains empty even though I unchecked " Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted" option in the properties. Files get deleted without going to recycle bin.


I downloaded and run latest Service Pack 3 but it didn't fix the issue.Some folks believe this may be due to INFO2 file corruption. I tried to look it up on my machine but didn't find it.

Any advice is appreciated.Create a NEW user account.
See if the new account works right.And fix your capslock button...thanks guys,

Sorry, Patio, I didn't understand about capslock button.... Quote from: 810311 on January 12, 2011, 04:04:10 PM

Your topic TITLE is written with caps, theres no need. Its classed as shouting!Sorry guys....I didn't realize.... Ya it is very necessary to always KEEP recycle bin empty. I always keep my recycle bin empty, its help to increase space in PC memory. RECYCLING some of your refuse can result in a reduced amount of trash. Now every time you close the Internet, PC Confidential can be set to thoroughly empty your trash to ensure you’re deleting everything in there.

Is there any alternatives to "Create a new user account " solution......just curious......
I just started having "Can not delete Dc 55 folder....folder is write protected" message again.OK, Now we give you a serious answer. No more SHOUTING!
Try what MS recommends.
Can't empty the Recycle Bin in Windows XP or in Windows Vista
Or was it this one?
Deleted files not going to recycle bin
thanks for the links.

no more shouting - for sure:)Keep in mind it is called a RECYCLE Bin. There is good reason for holding items for a bit before discarding them permanently.Really? - I didn't know that. Quote from: robatcook1987 on January 12, 2011, 09:05:55 PM

memory /= disk space
Thanks guys. You've been really helpful. Before you go...
Memory and disk space do not have a direct relationship.

A young finned of mind is a real computer Genius. But he has a bad habit of cleaning the recycle bin all the time.  He has lost very important documents needed by hos company.

So we 'fixed' he recycle bin so that it also looks empty. When he finally learns to control his impulsive behavior, we will put it back the way it was.

Hopefully, he has learned that security is more important that a nervous habit.
