Damaged Recycled Folder
The Recycled folder itself can become damaged. Files are moved to the folder and the Recycle Bin on the desktop appears full, but you cannot view the contents and the Empty The Recycle Bin command is unavailable. Deleting this folder and restarting Windows will re-create this folder and restore functionality:

1. Restart to a command prompt.

2. Type attrib -s -h recycled.

3. Type del recycled.

4. Restart the computer
