| Recycle Bin: Can't Empty Hello All: I am using NOrton Systemworks 2006 and recycle bin. I was deleting some old files and now when I click on Empty Recycle Bin I get this error message: Can not remove folder; can not find specified file. I did a complete search of my hard drive for the folder and file name but it comes up with no file, etc. Does anyone know how I can get this to delete? I have 9 items to delete and this one problem is stopping the rest from being deleted. Sincerely,      |

If so you should check with >> Symantec tech support. Delete some unneeded file, then go to recycle bin and try to empty it. See what happens.
