    I am confused.
    How does the Recycle Bin become corrupted?
    Apparently this has been a long standing problem in Windows.
    So is this a system security weakness?
    An OS weakness?

    Why does not Microsoft fix it the mandatory updates?
    The published fixes are long, complicated, and intricate.
    If Microsoft does not fix this for us, is there an easier fix?
    What are the implications of ignoring the dire warning?

    :)

    Windows 10 corrupted Recycle bin

    These are the results when I try to clear recycle bin as following instructions above

    C:\$Recycle.bin\S-1-5-18 - The directory is not empty.

    How I keep the message from popping up that says recycle bin is corrupt?

    Thank You

    SCOTT

    after win10 upgrade, desktop pc, frozen on first page

    Method #1 was very helpful. and I thank you for the fast response. 10 is up and running, but has a few problems .The program is working fine,except for the popup notice! that keeps coming up.

    It said "(the Recycle Bin on C:\ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive? YES or NO?)" I said YES..... It goes away, then it returns after i press a few keys. I sure could use your help on that pop up. Thanks

    I have never had this notice popup on any of my computers. I would say that the file/folder is corrupted on your computer. I don't know if you could delete the folder and have windows rebuild it or not. I'm sure someone will see this thread and be able to help.

    I've found, this most often happens when permissions are altered on the Recycle Bin's hidden folder structure, which ever drive it is on. To fix it, delete the recycle bin folders and it should go away. Windows will recreate them with proper permissions.
