Loveahlulbayt14,
Which version of Windows are you using?
Do you have Norton Utilities programs installed?
If you're using Windows 98 or ME, have you tried running Scandisk using the instructions below?:
After opening Scandisk, place a CHECK mark in ?Automatically Fix Errors. Click on the "Advanced" button, then make sure the settings look like this:
Display Summary=Always
Log File=Replace Log
Cross-linked File=Delete
Lost File Fragments=Free
Check Valid Files For=Place a check in ALL of the options
Check Host Drive First
If you're using Windows 2000 or XP, please run Error Checking/Chkdsk using the link below:

Have you tried emptying the Recycle Bin from within Windows Explorer? The Recycle Bin is normally a "hidden" file, but if you change your settings so you "show all files", then you should be able to open it from within Windows Explorer and delete the files manually.
HOpe this helps and let us know more.

I have had problems with my recycling bin for quite some time now. Each time I go and deleat something, and to save space, I'd like to deleat the things on my recycling bin, it shows nothing is there. Which, as I know isn't possible, so I click on empty recycling bin and it asks if I'm sure I would like to deleat the 72 files? And even after I try and say yes, I try again just to make sure, and it does the same thing. I would like to know whats happnening if anybody knows, and how I can fix it.
