RE: Can't Empty Recycle Bin

try turning off your anti-virus software and then try to empty recycle bin.
alot of times anti-virus software will protect the bin and not let you delete
certain files in it as they are being protected. I don't know what software
you are using, but nortons is famous for protecting the recycle bin.
