Dkoz Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 My recycle bin shows empty. I run ccleaner and it shows it deleted 4 files totaling 737,280 kb. It's been doing it for a week. If I rerun it immediately, it reports it deleted the same amount again. What it shows as deleted are files in: C:\$Recycle.Bin\ ...random characters...

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Dkoz Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 That did it! quick and easy. Thanks so much. You know, I've used ccleaner for quite some years. Any time a friend has trouble with their machine, I load it up and run it just to clean stuff up. I'm not a fan of W10 even after giving it a chance. I'm just getting too old.
