same six files reappear in every scan but are never removed

About a month or so ago, a set of six files appeared in the scan results, but CCleaner was not able to remove them. To this day, they still reappear every time that I run a scan.

In the past, whenever a scan was performed, CCleaner would always remove everything that it found. I never had any issues with it ever leaving anything behind before, so I would love to know what these files are and why CCleaner is unable to remove them

CCleaner says they are Recycle Bin files; however, my Recycle Bin is empty.

Below are the scan details regardng the files in question:

Anyone know what these files are and why CCleaner hasn’t been able to remove them?

Thanks.

What is your operating system?

If it is Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 it may be a corrupt recycle bin.
