Recycle Bin

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

I use CCleaner regularly and a strange thing is happening.

I run 3 pcs, two on windows 8.1 and one on windows 7.

On Win7 the cleaner empties the recycle bin no problem.

On both win 8.1 machines, until a few months ago it reported it had emptied over 4,000 items, even if I could only see one or two in the bin.

In the past month or so it is now reporting emptying 16,000 ++ items from the recycle bin every time I do a clean

I can watch it processing lots of data, but no actual names on the files it thinks are in the bin.

Any ideas?

Try deleting the $recycle.bin folder from the root directory of the drive. This will reset the recycle bin
