Send an empty notepad file in there and see what happens.

Re: Recycle Bin * no files showing, but they are there!!

I don't know how to send an "empty" notepad file to recycle bin. I don't know
how to save an empty file. I sent a notepad file to recycle bin; it doesn't
appear but the total count of files has increased by 1 file.

Re: Recycle Bin * no files showing, but they are there!!

You just create a new text document and then delete it. It doesn't
always work but sometimes it does and it's a pretty easy thing to try.
You can right click an empty area on your desktop then click on "New" to
create the Text Document. Then just send it on its merry way to the
Recycle Bin.

If that doesn't do anything then you can try deleting the recycler
folder(s), Windows will recreate it when you reboot. From a command
prompt issue the following command:

rd /s /q c:\recycler

Remember that if you have more than one drive you will have to issue the
command for each drive, changing the c: with the appropriate drive letter.

Re: Recycle Bin * no files showing, but they are there!!

I sent the file to the recycle bin. It doesn't show but it is added to the
total files refered to when I delete the files. Thanks for your help.!!
