Unable to empty the contents of Recycle Bin

[vnphalguna]

Hi Guys
I am having a WD 320 GB Hard Disk. I am facing problem from it. i have to delete all the files/folders from the Recycle bin. This contains around 60GB of space. whn i click on Disk clean up or empty recycle bin, there is nothing happenning. eevn whn i try to delete the recycle bin, no action is being taking place. At the same time i am unable to view/see any files/folders in it.
how can i restore the 60 gb memory back??
please help me out.

I sometimes have a problem that is not exactly how you've described it but it almost sounds similar. Sometimes I open the Recycle Bin, empty it and the icons disappear, but if I look at the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, it shows the Recycle Bin icon that has stuff to delete in it, which is not supposed to. If I open the Recycle Bin again and click on empty, it doesn't do anything. The trick is to right-click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and click on "Empty Recycle Bin". Restarting the PC also fixes the problem, but like I said, I'm not sure if you have the same problem.
