Question : recycle bin err

get error when emptying recycle bin as follows:
"Cannot delete DD2: Access is denied.  Make sure the dis is not full or wire protected and that the file is not currently in use."

Using Win98.  Disabled all programs (Ctl-alt-del, end task) but still get this problem.  Have to open bin, select all files then delete to get the job done.  

Thanks for the help!!

Answer : recycle bin err

I had a similar problem. I would boot to a Command prompt. (F8 when starting choose command prompt only)

Do a DIR /AH to show all the hidden files.
You should see a directory called RECYCLED.
Type CD RECYCLED to change to that directory.
Do a DIR to show the files you have deleted.
They should be named something like DC(a number).(Extention)

All files are renamed when sent to the recycle bin to the DC(a number).(Original Extention)

try doing a DEL *.* in here.

Sometimes these file can actually get hidden and require you to
do an ATTRIB -R -A -S -H *.* to remove the attribute before you delete the files.

Once you have these files deleted, you should be able to use your recycle bin fine.

Hope this helps,
