    Recycle Bin

    The icon of recycle bin shows that I have something in it.
    When I double click on it, it does not show anything, it's empty...
    When I right click on the recycle bin, and choose "Empty Recycle bin", I get a message: "Are you sure you want to delete 'WINDOWS'? "

    What the ... ? Delete WINDOWS ??

    Sounds like you have hidden file(s) in your recycle bin. Turn on showing hidden files and system files to see if it's in there.

    Are you sure you don't have the empty recycle bin icon simply set to the full icon ?
    I've done it on occasion, not sure how to change it back, i can't find the menu :/

    have you viewed your Recycler folder?? It is usually in the Root system drive. If windows is installed on the C:\ drive, it is usually C:\RECYCLER (its hidden, so you may need to show all folders in the view options)
