A small window comes up every time that says the following:
Cannot delete ##04InderxerRunning: Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.
Does anyone have any idea why I cannot delete this sucker? I seem to think it may be remnants of a bad virus I once had on the computer. Thanks for any guidance!

Hi Ax,
I thought this might be the case and I restored the folder and then proceeded to delete files within files successfully. I eventually ended up deleting all folders including the actual folder itself. Then I went back to the recucle bin and deleted them all. It is now empty, but get this. While I was deleting all the folders from the recycle bin I received the same error again (2 times) that I mentioned in the first thread. When I go into the recycle bin it is empty but when I look at the desktop icon it shows that it is not empty. And when I go to empty the recycle bin it asks me if I am sure I want to delete the 2 items. Under folder options I do have all files viewable yet I don't see these 2 files.
What do you get of this?

Go to Start|Run, type cmd and press Enter. Type RD /S /Q C:\Recycler (notice that RD, /S, /Q, and C:\Recycler are each separated by a space) and press Enter. This will delete the folder used by the recycling bin, along with its contents. Windows will recreate the folder when it is needed.
Ax,
I ended up restarting the computer and then I wa able to "empty the recycle bin". I tried your cmd just for good measure. It lloks as is everything has been deleted, including the unseen files.
Thanks for your help!
