My Recycle Bin won't act right

When I delete things, they go into the Recycle bin. When I delete the contents of the bin, the contents themselves are deleted, but the bin still shows full.

I say old chap......WTF?

Anyone?

That happens with my e-mailbox sometimes.

Maybe it's slow to update condition/status

Are you talking about the little graphic doesn't switch back to an "empty" look ?

yes

On your desktop right ? Cause I have a stardock toolbar thing where the icon doesn't change and that's a whole other problem.

Just guessing but I'd say that since the recycle bin is two different images (a 'full' image and a 'empty' image) that somehow the 'empty' image isn't associated... eh... I don't know what I'm trying to say here, It's like a broken mouse hover on a webpage. Where you mouse over an object and instead of it changing just just get a red x.

Anyway, try right-clicking and changing to a different recycle bin graphic and see if that helps.

didnt work!

You can try this stuff.... no idea if it will work....

Try this:

Repair the Recycle bin:

This is the one I tried and it worked. Thanks

Looks like its time to name this place Para's Tech Room Forum.

It's nice when you can get your knickers in a twist over an icon not updating

Next time, try going to the DOS prompt and type "FORMAT C:/".

Works every time!

I would have answered you earlier, but I don't give IT help to people like you.

Starguard is a retard, its a miricle he finds the on button of his box.

I like Starguard but just wonder how he finds the brains to wipe his own ass.

Fdisk usually works against viruses.

Warning for flaming outside the RR, et al.

Let me ask you this... where is the recycle bin's father?

baby daddy not father in modern era.

How full was your bin? Sometimes if the bin is really full it takes time for the computer to delete all the associated files from your hard drive. Give it a few minutes then try a reboot and see if that helps.

registries might be fucked up.
