Recycle bin AKA Black Hole

Locked

I’m needing some help here. I’ve researched everywhere I can think of for the solution to my problem with no luck. My problem is as follows:
I delete files to the recycle bin, then when I go to the recycle bin, there are 0 objects. I have folder options set to show all files, hidden and system files as well. The administrator account has ownership of the Recycle folder. When I select to empty the recycle bin it asks me if I want to remove the (insert # here) files from the recycle bin. There are files in there, but I can’t see them. Any help would be much appreciated.

You MUST be logged in as admin in order to view or empty it.

This is a tech. problem, in search of a solution.

It properly belongs in “Technical Q&A,” not in “Discussions.”

Please re-post there.

Thank you.
