    Hi lovegoddess,

    This issue may occur due to a corruption in the recycle bin.

    Use the link below to download and run the same:

    fix-it-center.en.softonic.com

    If this doesn’t work, I request you to follow the steps below:

    (1) Click on the start button.

    (2) Then click on All Programs and then click on Accessories.

    (3) Double click on the command prompt

    (4) Then type

                 rd /s C:\recycler

                 If the computer has Windows XP operating system

                 rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin

               If the computer has Windows Vista/Windows 7

               Note: For hard drives with other letters, substitute C: for the desired hard drive letter.

    (5) Close the Command Prompt window.

    (6) Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and then click Refresh.

    The Recycle Bin should be empty now. If not, repeat these steps for any other drive letter that you have.
