recycling bin problem?
I have moved three files into the bin. When I emptied it, the files vanished, yet not really because invisibly they are still there as the icon shows. Attempts to try emptying again fail.

When you want to permanently delete some files without sending them to recycle bin.
Select all the files that you want to delete.
Press shift + delete. Press shift key first, and while still holding the key down press delete. This will delete the files without sending to recycle bin.

look at your task manager if those files are running, click end process and then empty your recycle bin..

Make sure w/e your trying to delete isnt running in the background. I know windows will get a bug every now and then bout deleting. I re-start and it clears up.

Restart or reboot computer. Have some more memory chips. Check for viruses. Clean up. Good luck.
