help guys, i cant empty my recycle bin

 

[baronvongogo]

can you be more specific does it give an error when trying to empty? Have you tried emptying it in safe mode?

Also try this software:

eraser 5.13
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/eraser/eraser53.zip?download

When installed rick click on your recycle bin and you`ll see a new option saying erase recycle bin click it and see if that works.

Are you logged in as the Administrator of the computer?

Do you have the Recycle Bin to permenantly remove items when they're deleted?

What happens when you empty the recycle bin? Does the icon show that items are in the recycle bin? Or does it actually contain files?
