Recycle Bin Broken how to fix

If you recycle bin is not working i.e. you can’t send anything there.

It is probable that it has become corrupted.

Here is how you may be able to fix it :‐

Go to :‐ Start > Shut down

On restarting your M/c keep pressing F8

( see My tip “ Start in Safe Mode “)

When the Black and White screen comes up choose Command Prompt

When the chevron “ > “ appears type :‐ cd\ cd[space]recycledattrib[space]‐r[space]‐s[space]‐h[space]info2.* del[space]info2

At the end of each line press Enter

( This takes you down to the next line)

( Don’t type the spaces just leave them)

The effect of the above is to delete the damaged file

Now reboot and again keep pressing F8 until the B/W screen

Once again type followed by Enter

cd\

attrib[space]‐r[space]‐s[space]‐h[space]C:\recycled

deltree[space]C:\recycled

Note:‐ do not put a hyphen before C

Restart your M/c and there will be the Recycle Bin in all it’s glory
