Thanks bobhome and chuck2 for the suggestions. Unfortunately both did not work. I think the problem can be resolved by deleting the recycle bin some how. But I dont know how to do it???????

Hi, Are you sure it is your recycle bin at fault or just one of the items in it that will not delete?? Have you double clicked on recycle bin, and tried to remove the files idividually. you will then find the problem file.

Use CCleaner it should be your ticket. Go to www.downloads.com and on top in search type CClener

1. Thanks bobhome and nic123 for the advice. Yes it is true that there is only one folder in the recycle bin which I can see in DOS mode. otherwise it is not visible. I am unable to delete this folder even in dos mode. 2. I tried ccleaner also as suggested by nic123. The ccleaner detects the folder of 1.30 Mb but is unable to clean it. I think the possible solution is to delete the recycle bin but, hot to do it??????
