Non-existent files in Recycle Bin
This problem is driving me round the bend. After I started using OneDrive to backup my files I started collecting items in Recycle Bin which don't exist but can't be deleted either. As far as I can tell it happens if I delete a folder in OneDrive online rather than deleting it first in my local OneDrive folder so I don't do that any longer. However I'm left with five folder names in Recycle Bin which are proving impossible to remove. I've even resorted to a Win 10 repair install in the hope of them disappearing but even that hasn't sorted it. I guess they are in the master file table but neither sfc nor chkdsk touches them.
This isn't a criticism of OneDrive, which seems to work fine even if a little slow to pick up changed files. BT Cloud from my ISP is far superior in that department. However I suspect it could be pulled before too long leaving me without a online backup service or access to older backups stored there.
Any further thoughts would really be welcome.
