Default Recycle Bin- wont Empty- no files

My Recycle bin says it has 31 items in it but page shows nothing? I know
there are things in there. Also I cannot delete and anything now I delete
does not go to Recycle Bin it always remains at 31 items? I go to Properties
on Recycle bin - Global- check Use on setting- check delete confirmation
dialog. So How do I get to see files again and for them to go to Recycle Bin.
Thanks.

Do I have to reboot or what after running it? I have not yet, but the Recycle
Bin remains the same no different. Thanks for your help.

I re booted after running that file, not saving it. No changes whatsoever.
How do I know what its default settings are anyway. Afraid I am a novice.
Thanks
