I had Norton System Works on my system. I removed the program but found out that the nprotect file in the recycle bin was still there. I reinstalled Norton's to try to take it off that way and it didn't work. Properties shows that it has 123 files 0 folders 644kb on disk. I have tried KillBox, MoveOnBoot, booting up in safe mode, using the command prompt, shutting down explorer and using the command prompt and using everyother file delete program that I could get my hands on. Nothing is working. Right now I have a fairly small disk and really need every kb of space I can get. Is there anything short of wiping the entire drive that will get rid of that folder? I have a lot of programs on my drive that I would really hate to have to reinstall. Thanks for any help that you can give me.

You can try erasing the recycle bin maually. Follow these steps:

When you get the C:\> prompt, type in;

deltree c:\recycled\*.* (OR)
deltree c:\recycled\filename.ext (OR)
deltree c:\recycled (deletes the entire directory).


If that doesn't work, please let me know. Good luck!

Hi Selket...Welcome to G2G!

Have a look at the information on This Page...you will have to have the norton application installed for this to work.

Let us know how it goes.
