Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.2. Type the following command and press ENTER: rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin 3. Close the Command Prompt window. The following website may be referred. Recycle Bin Corrupted - Cannot Delete File or Folder - Vista ForumsArthur Xie - MSFT
