Greetings to all at DAL. Was wondering if anyone could help sort this problem out? Every time I try to empty the recycle bin I get this error message.
---------------------------
Error Deleting File or Folder
---------------------------
Cannot delete Dc57: Access is denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
---------------------------
OK

The only way I can empty it at the moment is to manually delete the files. Have just ran Ccleaner but it is listing 2 files still in the bin! When I opened the bin no files were showing. If anyone could help with this problem it would be much appreciated.

The only thing I could find on this suggests the following:

Go to Start > Run and type cmd,
In the command window, type cd \recycler, press Enter,
Type attrib -r -s -h info2, press Enter (this removes the read-only, system file, and hidden attributes from the file),
Type del info2, press ENTER.

This should delete the damaged info2 file, allowing Windows to recreate it (without corruption) when needed.

Thanks for the reply Digerati. Typed, cd\ recycler. The system cannot find the path specified. Any thoughts?

My mistake. I had the space after the \ instead of before it. It should be cd \recycler. I have edited my original post.

ok still no further getting this;C:\RECYCLER>attrib -r -s -h info2
File not found - info2

You still don't have the space right. It should be

c: \recycler

Note the space after the c:

Oops just saw the reply from Dan Penny, thanks Dan. Have set pc that no folders are hidden. Still getting, File not found – info2.

Dan's disappearing post? Yeah, I saw that too. But you can CD to a hidden directory, if you know the name.

Okay, are we talking about C drive, or some other drive?

Thanks for the input concerning this problem guys.
Problem now solved, reboot into safe mode, and was able to empty recycle bin of all files. Reboot PC, deleted a file to bin then empty bin, YE HA all is how it should be now , thanks once again...

Great and thanks for the followup.
