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

    Re: recylce bin problem

    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:

    Re: recylce bin problem

    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.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)
