Thanks for the suggestion. I've been adding to the recycle bin thru the day...still cannot empty it.

I am using Windows XP Yes, the error message says "Cannot delete these items because it is being used by another person or program" I am not on a network, so noone else is involved. I have tried emptying it when all other programs are closed and it still will not work. I've never used "safe mode" before, so not sure how to try that. Thank you

I installed CCleaner yesterday and ran it once. Turned computer off last night. Turned computer on this morning. Recycle Bin still has old deleted items from different programs: Photoshop, iTunes, Word, etc. Ran CCleaner again with only Recycle Bin checked...still won't empty it. Also, I cannot manually empty the recycle bin anymore. Is that normal...must I always run CCleaner to empty the recycle bin?
