Windows 10: Recycle Bin Corrupted Pop-up

I opened my laptop lid and it told be that my recycle bin was corrupted. It asked me if I wanted to delete all files in it, and since I only had one file for school I didn't need, I clicked yes. Is there anything I should be concerned about? Please reply soon.

When I turn on the computer each day, I get a message "The Recycle Bin on G:\ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this Drive\?" Drive G is where I have my Passport external drive for backup. Any suggestions on how to address and resolve this? Thanks.
