    Can't delete item in recycle bin.


    What is this? How to fix? Long green progress bar that never finishes in explorer.

    Should I do this anyway?


    I was wrong it did finally finish and I was able to empty the recycle bin. Believe me it took so long I didn't believe it was going to finish. Should I do the steps outlined in your attachment for good measure?

    Thanks, Marshall
