Recycle bin in ME

I've deleted some files, opened the recycle bin clicked empty recycle bin but I've got an error saying "Cannot delete file. Windows is unable to find the file. This item might have already been deleted or moved. Press F5 to refresh the view of this folder."

Any ideas?

Thanks

The quick solution is to delete the folder from DOS.

Boot with your boot disk and then from the prompt enter

c:\windows\command\deltree c:\recycled

Resond Y after confirming the file name.

Also, repeat the command for every drive that you have the recycle bin shared with. (Change the C:\recycled to D:\recycled, etc)
