Your recycle bin may be damaged so you might try this.
thanks to Koldbear.
Bootup using the "Windows Startup Disk"
Select #4
At the A:\ prompt,
type the following lines,
and press <enter> after each.
ATTRIB -S -R -H C:\RECYCLED
DELTREE /Y C:\RECYCLED
Note the <space> between B & -, S & -, R & -, H & C, E & /, and Y & C.
Remove the floppy disk and press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot
This will repair it.
