Recycle Bin Problem

by charles.perron . Updated 25 years, 2 months ago

When I empty the recycle bin, the files are deleted but then a Windows alert pops up that says:

“Error Deleting file or folder
Cannot delete [filename]. Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and filename.”

My question is this: What file(s) contain the list of all files currently in the “recycle bin”? I have checked the registry and find no such list. I have checked the microsoft.com knowledgebase for articles on the recycle bin, but have not found any detailed information. This is only an annoyance, but I would like to figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks.
