I have a file stuck in my recycling bin. It won't restore and it won't delete. It says '0 bytes' can be found. It's affecting the whole of my laptop. I can't log onto my user profile, so files aren't easy to get to. I've tried deleting it from Safe Mode, it does the same thing. Can someone please help me? I've had this problem for around 8 months now, and it's getting to the point where it's intolerable.

Try MoveOnBoot...

How is it affecting the "whole laptop" ? ?

Try deleting from safe mode. If that doesn't work, run chkdsk /r

MoveOnBoot keeps saying 'processing data'... I think that's what it said... It wasn't deleting the file. Thank you for trying to help.

I've tried both, no luck. Thank you though.

As patio asked, how is it affecting your whole laptop? And what is the file please?
