Field of Stones Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 For the latest version (4.08.4428 64-bit Windows 8) and the previous two versions, whenever I'm cleaning my hard drive, it says that it's emptying my Recycle Bin (even though it's already empty). It's always 42,931 KB, 28 files. No matter what or when I'm cleaning, this always appears. I've uninstalled and re-installed CCleaner, but it always shows up. I've tried different wiping methods (3, 7, 35) to no avail. It doesn't on my other computers though. What could I do to get rid of this entry? Thanks. --FoS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted November 30, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2013 Perhaps your recycle bin is not working correctly, if it is deleted Windows will automatically build a new one when you re-boot.

Dee_Bee Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I am having the same problem with Windows 8.1. I will try to delete the recycle bin as per the post above and let you know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBurns Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I am having this issue on 2 pc's, both running Windows 8.1. I tried the "build a new recycle bin method" on one and it seemed to work. However, now my other pc is having the same problem - beginning to believe it's a CCleaner "bug".

Moderators mta Posted December 14, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2013 can't replicate the OP problem here. CC v4.08.4428, Win8.1, 64bit Recycle Bin already empty, run CC which also empties Recycle Bin. All good. Delete something, Recycle Bin shows it, run CC, Recycle Bin empty. 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.
