How to troubleshoot Recycle Bin issues in Windows

If you’re having trouble with the Recycle Bin in Windows, there are a few things you can do to try and fix the issue.

First, make sure that the Recycle Bin is not full. If it is, you’ll need to empty it out before you can continue using it.

Next, check to see if the Recycle Bin has been disabled. This can happen if you accidentally turned it off or if a virus has disabled it.

If the Recycle Bin is still not working properly, you can try resetting it. This will delete all the files in the Recycle Bin, so make sure you have a backup of any important files before you do this.

To reset the Recycle Bin, open the Command Prompt and type:

rd /s /q C:\$RECYCLE.BIN

This will delete the Recycle Bin folder and all its contents. You can then restart your computer and the Recycle Bin should now be working properly.
