Windows 10: Recycle bin on D drive is corrupted

Hi Guys,

So I was having a previous issue with my computer stuck in a Automatic repair loop and so I just did a clean reinstall of windows on my SSD and formatted my hard drive. Everything was fine until my windows updated a couple days ago and now it says my recycle bin on my D drive is corrupted and when I try to delete the $recycle.bin hidden file it says I cant cause I don't have admin rights. Also I don't have admin rights on my D hard drive.


I have tried everything from trying to give the D drive admin right by changing the owner but that doesn't work cause I don't even see a owner tab, to trying to delete the $recycle.bin folder in safe mode.


Really just want access to my harddrive so I can format it and reinstall my games and programs.


Please help!!!

:)

 

Recycle bin corrupted (repeatedly) on external (encrypted) hard drive

I have a portable encrypted hard drive.

I use it on my Windows 10 Pro desktop PC (10.0.17134 Build 17134), a Windows 10 laptop (unsure of build as being used elsewhere by a colleague) and a Windows 7 laptop.

I have *no* problems on either laptop. No error messages - EVEN IF the desktop has reported an error.

On the Windows 10 Pro desktop, I frequently get a message telling me that the recycle bin on the hard drive is corrupted and asking if I want to empty it.

I have tried:

1. Saying "Yes" and emptying the hard drive.
2. Deleting the recycle bin ($recycle.bin) on all drives from Windows Explorer.
3. Opening an elevated command prompt and deleting the recycle bin from all drives using rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin (and repeating for drives D, E, F and G).

I have followed all the instructions in Windows 10 corrupted Recycle bin

This resolves the problem... for a day or two, if I'm lucky. Then it returns.

Something keeps corrupting it - and only on the desktop computer. No other drives on that computer have an issue reported with corrupt recycle bins.

Any suggestions?

 

Corrupted recycle bin


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.

 

D:/ Recycle Bin is Corrupted

Hi.

I recently deleted Norton antivirus. Since then, a pop-up started coming up saying: The Recycle Bin on D:/ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?

I press Yes, but a pop-up comes up saying: Access Denied. Ask permission from administrator.

I have an MSI Trident 3 computer with the newest version and security update.

I wanted to contact MSI, but there isn't a hotline for Latvia.

The only admin exept me is MSI.

I tried to delete the Recycle bin through admin CMD, but it said: Access Denied.

I don't want to format my drive because I have 500gb of important stuff on my drive that I can't acces.

All of my games on my D:/ drive can't run because of this.

Here are my specs if they help:

Intel Core i5-7400 @ 3.00GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3gb

8gb RAM

Thanks in advance.
