What happens when you try to restore the file. Does that fail with a similar error?

yees sir. when i hit restore it ask me abt replace a folder thats already there, and i say yes. then the same error from before, and thats it. any idea...? i tried googling it and not much help there i guess...-justin

It is most probably due to illegal characters in the file name. You should go to the command line and delete the reccle bin folder manually as detailed here:

By the way? -which OS is this?

You could try running Disk Cleanup and getting it to empty the recycle bin, that actually worked for me when I had a similar problem to yours.
