Recycle Bin Problem

[joel.scott]

i am experiencing a weird problem with my recycle bin. The icon indicates that I have deleted items in it. When I right click and choose empty recyle bin, it gives asks me if i would like to go through with it... but it asks if I would like to delete windows. So I opened the recycle bin to see what file its talking about and there is absolutely nothing in there. Could this be due to some type of malware?? I currently use avast 4.7, and ran a full system scan only yesterday. I haven't been to any new/suspicious websites since then. If its not malware then what could it be?

Google has a great time with this.
1. right click on the recycle bin and click properties.

2. Reboot in safe mode, the bin will be empty, then reboot normally.

3. Give in to temptation and click 'Yes'.

That does not seem odd to me because that has happened to me. I click yes and then it just says "Unable to delete WINDOWS. Drive or folder not accsessable." I just leave it how it is. When you start it again it will go away.
