Windows 10: My computer refuses to recycle 577K files 60GB

Hi, I'm asking this question as I want to clear out my Recycle Bin. Whenever I empty all of the files/big portions of them 1200-57000 files, Windows will either go not responding or I'll get a slightly flickering screen before restarting. Is there any way I'll be able to get rid of them all? Windows seems to only like deleting small portions of files like 22 at a time. I don't have time to constantly do this, is there an easier way?


My computer info:


Lenovo Ideapad 310-15IKB

8GB RAM

1TB HDD

Intel Core i5-7200U/Intel HD Graphics 620

Windows 10 Home 1909

Recycle Bin refuses to delete files for user

Hello,

I am troubleshooting an issue for a user where they receive an error message whenever they try to delete a file. The message states that recycle bin is unable to recycle the file, would you like to permanently delete it? This is occurring on files of all
types and sizes and the Recycle Bin has been emptied. I have run the rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin command and
SFC /scannow with no results. User is running Windows 10 and this issue only occurs on this particular user's profile. Any suggestions?
