My recycle bin is not showing files that are in it. I know the files are there because when I right-click the Recycle Bin and tell it to empty, it asks me "Are you sure you want to delete these (insert number here) files?" I can empty it that way, but when I go into the Recycle Bin itself, it shows no files. I have set my computer up so that all hidden files are seen, but still nothing. What could be the problem?
