obvious question I know, but have you ticked the box to Empty Recycle Bin.

and have you unticked the 2 Only delete files.....24 hours options in Options/Advanced?

 

(maybe a typo, but the latest version is .4808)

Backup now & backup often.
It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.
Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Sames issue checked to empty trash and unticked 24hr i also noticed this issue on a dell venue pro 8 8.1

 

In both cases trash is acctually empty it seems to be falsely reporting it is not.....

Sounds like you are describing a long time Windows bug where, even though the recycle bin empties the icon remains the "Full Icon"

Can you confirm, as well can the original poster reply if this is the case with you, else @ghamden will need to start a new thread.

 

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

No it only shows in CCleaner that file haven't been deleted.

 

I think the issue has to do with One Drive the filles that it shows as undleted were acctually deleted from One Drive and are here is a log file of what it did some items weren't run because browser is open
