Hi All,

I recently installed a program called Evidence Eliminator to try to clean up
my system. Well now I am unable to see files in the Recycle Bin. I know they
are there cause not only does the icon change to the one that tells you
there is stuff there, but it also (when I click on "Empty the Recycle Bin")
tells me "are you sure you want to delete these ## messages. Also I can
still do a CTRL-Z an un-delete any items I just deleted. Let me know if
anyone has any ideas on how to fix this without a dread re-install. I just
re-installed everything about 2 months ago and am not in the mood to do it
again for a couple more months. I have un-installed the program, and tried
to do a System Restore but unfortunately the program deleted all my back up
info.

Thanks in advance!
Bobby

I tried this program too and ended up reformatting my entire system and
reinstalling to fix all of the errors that occurred. Best of luck!
