Hi,
I'm having problems emptying my Recycle Bin (Win 7). What happened was I was compressing some backed up work with Win RAR (around 6GB) last night to burn onto DVD. I was going to split it up in to a bunch of 2500mb files, except I forgot to put in the "mb" after the 2500 when entering the amount to split the volumes by. Anyway, around half way through the process I decided to check on the progress and noticed it had been creating 3KB files instead. Around 880000 of them
!!!! It took me forever to delete them
. Now I'm trying to empty out the recycle bin and it's taking for-freaking-ever to display the contents. I've tried just right clicking on the recycle bin on the desktop to empty it but nothing happens.
I also held down shift when I originally deleted the 3kb files to just delete them rather than send them to the recycle bin
Are there any work arounds for this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
