Empty your recycle bin.  See what that does.   "Recycler" is a hidden folder (directory) so you won't be able to see it unless you tell Windows to show hidden files / folders (which is really okay to do but be aware that these folders / files are hidden for your proection).  

To unhide: in Windows Explorer go to Tools >  Folder Options > View > Show Hidden Files and Folders.

Look at the message again: is it C:\RECYCLER or C:/RECYCLERS ???  

The 2nd is not even a valid name so that is bogus if it says that.  You've got other problems, then.

If it really is C:\RECYCLER then it IS a hidden / system file.  Check your views settings again for your folders.  

While you are showing hidden / system files / folders check if you can see other hidden files: the cache file (swap file) and/or LOCAL SETTINGS folder under your profile or others' profiles under C:\Documents and Settings\
