Many thanks for this, I have been getting recycle bin corrupt for ages and tried everything to sort it out. This works a treat - no more annoying messages.

Also eventually got rid of this by reformatting my drive after backing up through creating a VHD of my system. The funny thing is those corrupt or invalid files will still mess up the MFT of your VHD so that you can't compact it unless you're lucky enough that none of the sectors are near the edges of the VHD.
