I can get into my Recycle Bin. I know there are files in there but they do
not show, nothing shows in my recycle bin, although if I click on it it says
do you want to delete 31 items. Why they not there? Thanks. How I get to see
them?

Note: Files that were previously deleted will be permanently erased from the Recycle Bin.

Create a notepad document and save it (any name will do).
Now delete the file so that it goes to the recycle bin.
Empty the recycle-bin.

To test, create another file and then delete it – does it now show up in the recycle bin?

If not, then continue on to the following site for more information.

Hopefully this will solve problem, as it says there are 31 files there but it
does not show anything I cannot delete either? Or add to deleted files.

Try this first:-
Note: Files that were previously deleted will be permanently erased from the Recycle Bin.

Create a notepad document and save it (any name will do).
Now delete the file so that it goes to the recycle bin.
Empty the recycle-bin.

To test, create another file and then delete it – does it now show up in the recycle bin?

No files seem to go to Recycle bin now when deleted, it says when you click
on recycle bin there are 31 in there but they cannot be seen and cannot be
deleted.

Start Windows Explorer and go to C:\
Click the + in front of Recycler
Right click each on the listings under Recycler and select Delete.

If you are using Norton's Protected Recycle Bin read the Norton Help.
