Can not deleted file in Recycle bin
Error:Cannot deleted m[1];Cannot find specified file.
Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.

I have 7files that will not deleted I have tryed every thing. Please help!

Thanks

check in c:\recycler , or whatever other drive they were originally on and see if they are in there

if not, put something else in the recycle bin and empty it from the desktop and see if that helps

Do you have any kind of software file protection? That might be a possibility.

The only time I ran into this type of problem with WinXP was when I had the image files mounted and tried to dump them from the trash. It was easy, unmount the image files and then you can dump them. Not sure if this is your problem, just a guess.

Yes, have add other files to the recycle bin. The files are not displayed in the recycle bin. the icon shows that the bin is still full. I try to empty the recycle bin I get the same error message. These file I deleted were from the temp IE 6.

Have you done:

1. A System Reboot

2. A System Restore

How do you unmount a file in the recycle bin?
I have done a system reboot.
But I have not done a restore.

When I speak about a file being mounted I'm talking about a virtual CD-ROM drive. You said before the files you tried to erase were temp files, so forget what I said about an image that has been mounted. It should not be an issue here.

I would try a system RESTORE.

If it is FAT32, you can always/usually boot with a Win 98 bootdisk and delete the file/folder with DOS.

I justed tryed system restore to 02-13-03. still the same.

File typ is NTFS

Try as Sephiroth says, there have been times when my recycle bin says it has stuf in it - go to empty it and cant empty

I ususally just make a text document on the desktop, and just move it over to the recycle bin... then empty recycle bin and see what happens, works for me.

I had a similar experience and the fix was

Win4Now - NICE LINK

As note in the link above by M$:

:blink: Opps I think most of us already assumed that you were trying to delete the file as the Administrator.

I'm watching this thread, because I really want to know what corrects the problem.

The thing is that the file is not showing up in Recycle bin.
I can not restore the file.

thank

In folder options, view, do you have Show hidden files checked ?

Maybe you are trying to delete hidden files, and without this checked, you can't...

Just an Idea...
