Recycle Bin

Hello,
We resently had a power failure here a few days ago and ran the checkdisk utility. It recovered 4 files (Dc1.chk,Dc2.chk,Dc3.chk,Dc4.chk) and created a folder named FOUND.00. We removed the folder and the files in it, however the recycle bin still shows them as being there, but when you open it, they are not. When you right click it says “Empty Recycle Bin” and when you hit that it confirms to delete 4 files, however the files are not listed in the recycle bin. This is more of a minor issue but I am trying to figure out how I can empty it, as the files are there but they are not. I am running Win 2000 SP4. Anyone have any clues?????
