CCleaner always cleans 4.5 Gb from the recycle bin even when it is empty. I tried the suggestion in this topic...
Right-click on the "Command Prompt" entry > click "Run as Administrator"

1. Type and enter:
   rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin
    
2. I get this response
   Remove-Item: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '/q'.
   
   So, how do I fix this situation, which you say is probably a corrupt recycle bin?
3. Thank you, MickD
