Windows 10: Annoying.. :(

I can't empty my recycle bin. I don't know what caused it, or how it could even happen.
I need the extra storage, and i'm on a roadtrip without my external harddrive.

:)

 

annoyed.

Right so basically im beyond pissed. Microsoft gave me that £20 promo code and then contacted me the other day saying that I have to use it up as it is going. So they gave me a couple of stores that i could buy things at and i went to the music one and app.
I set my purchase on Microsoft account so it wouldn't charge on phone bill when i bought on app and thought that now if i were to buy on music id be able to buy things with the left over amount on my £20 code. So i thought id buy a few songs and turns out
it charged me on my phone bill and now i have to pay an extra flipping £9!!!!! And it wasn't even in the option of changing it and then i realised to late!! And it said i could buy things in the xbox music store! But there wasn't even a option! I am truly
disappointed in windows. Does anybody know what i could do?

 

Can't Sync Contacts With MyPhone

Hi folks, I know this has come up several times before but I still can't get my HD2 to sync contacts. Exchange is disabled and contacts is selected in 'Microsoft My Phone' but nothing is working...

Sense won't launch either which is the problem I'm having, I can't access my contacts. The phone needs a ROM upgrade or hard reset apparantely which will delete everything leaving me obviously with no contacts and no way of getting them back.

Any help much appreciated

Also, may have a nice paperweight up for sale soon!

 

Did you try to empty it while in Safe Mode
Safe Mode - Start Windows 10 in - Windows 10 Forums

Another option would be to try deleting the Recycle Bin contents a few items at a time, select the first 10 items and try to delete them.
If successful select the next 10 and delete them, and so on
If/when you can't delete an item ignore it and delete the others. You can try to figure out why the item can't be deleted when you have time

Good luck *Smile

 

Did you try restarting the computer before you empty the recycle bin. From experience sometimes a file might still be in use by the system and won't be able to be removed until you restart.

 

Restart the computer, Run Disk Cleanup as an Administrator (right click to select run as), and select as many things as you'd like to remove. Free up tons of space.

 

Hello Dragonykz, *Smile

The tutorial below should be able to help fix your corrupted Recycle Bin. Be sure to do it for all drives.

Recycle Bin Corrupted - Cannot Delete File or Folder

 

It could be corrupted, as it doesn't even allow me the option to empty it. It's greyed out.
I'll look at the tutorials, and close the thread if the issue is resolved.
Thanks, guys *Smile

[{EDIT}]= Yes, it has files in it. I made sure none were in use.
