CCleaner hanging while emptying the Recycle Bin


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I've used your product for a while now and everything has been fantastic, although now I've got a slight issue that may be due to another factor.

 

The Recycle Bin on my desktop (Vista 64-bit) is empty when viewing through Windows Explorer however when I ran CCleaner the application is hanging on 20% while trying to delete a .iso file from the Recycle Bin. I ran a defragging application I use (PerfectDisk 10) and it can see the iso file because it's highly fragmented. I don't know whether the Recycle Bin can't see the file or the drive allocation/management tool has 5Gb of my primary drive set aside for something that doesn't exist anymore.

 

I hope this makes sense but if it doesn't I'll be happy to take as many screenshots/log files as I can.

 

Cheers

Andrew

Open My Computer. In Folder Options (or something like this, my computer isn't in English), untick "Hide protected system files (recommended)"

Then go to C:\$Recycle.Bin\

Is there something inside ?
