Dogway Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Well, this is the famous bug(?) that you can find elsewhere when googling, but I can't manage to solve it.I did many things described around like, delete on safe mode, delete from command line, restore recycle bin, antivirus scan, etc with no success so I post here.First the 2 folders were visible in recycle bin, then while trying something of the above they went hidden, still I can see them if I search for them from command line inside "E:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-790525478-861567501-1177238915-500", the problematic folders are called Dc17 and Dc18, and i can't do anything with them,a ll I get is an "access denied" error.What else can I try?

dencorso Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Boot from a Live Linux CD (I recommend Porteus) and delete any and all files you need to delete. If I were you I'd delete the problem files/folders, then delete RECYCLER for good measure. Then go back to windows. It'll automagically recreate a working, empty Recycle Bin.

Dogway Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 but how do I know what files/folders I need to delete?I only have De17 and De18 in the recycle bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogway Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) OK, BartPE would do it as well, right? So I just delete the E:\Recycler (with those folders inside). BRBedit. oh yes!! So convenient self-booting disc. That trick did it, thanks guys!! Edited April 30, 2013 by Dogway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
