Hi All

Managed to sort out my problem by myself, this is the solution.

Firstly copy and paste the following code into notepad and save as a .bat file to your desktop


@echo off
echo Please Save and Close Any Work You may Have Open.
pause
attrib -h -s -r C:\recycler -or- folder lcoation
rmdir /s /q C:\recycler folder location
echo Your Computer Must Reboot For Changes To Take Effect.
echo Press the X in the top right corner to Reboot Manually Or
pause
SHUTDOWN -r -t 10 -c "You Have 10 Seconds until your computer restarts and your recycle bin is fixed!


Execute the file, after 10 seconds your pc will shut down & hey presto you recycle bin will start working again

This fix can be used on any drive internal or external just change the drive from C: to the relevant one you want to repair.

Hope this was helpful to the many people who have read this thread.
