Empty Recycle Bin

Hi Everyone,

A friend of mine has a Compaq laptop running Win 10. I found about 4GB in the Recycle Bin and deleted contents. I thought I would download the latest version of CCleaner to give her laptop a good clean out. I pressed analyze and it displayed what you would normally expect and then I noticed under Empty Recycle Bin a figure of 7556,781,774,753,409 bytes. When I look in my Recycle Bin it shows it is empty yet even after running CCleaner again it still shows the above figure. Is this correct? Cheers Bradford

it may just be having a bad hair day, try a reboot first and see if things are reported differently.

 

otherwise it may be a dodgy recycle bin, see here for a solution; https://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=42673

Backup now & backup often.
It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.
