    question How to delete & rebuild trash bin in XP

    When i try to empty the contents of the recycle bin (Xp SP3) is shows "cannot delete folder ADD_Files. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable".
    But when i see inside the trash bin, nothing is there. I've enabled viewing hidden files and folders. Does somebody knows how to correct this issue ?

    Try deleting it in a command prompt by going into start >> run >> type cmd and then go to the appropriate directory, and del ADD_Files. You can also try to delete that file/folder by going into safe mode. Another option is download a porgram called unlocker and after installing it, right click the file or folder and select Unlocker and delete it by unlcoing the file/folder.
