    bothersome recycle bin error message in external HDD -how to fix?


    That's not the correct command. It should be this below instead for the "H" drive.

    RD /S /Q H:\$Recycle.bin

    That would indicate that the $RECYCLE.BIN folder has already been deleted on H: since it can't find it.

    As a test, go ahead and do the same for your C: drive using the command below in case there may still be a corrupted reference for H: there as well. When finished, restart the computer to see if that stops the message from the 1st post.

    RD /S /Q C:\$RECYCLE.BIN
