I've tried everything I can find about removing a corrupt recycle bin but it won't stay gone. I don't know if the fact that it is on my external drive makes a difference or not.
There are three hidden files that don't exist in the bin that are causing the problem. It comes up every night during the automatic backup.
I've renamed the recycle bin and then deleted it. I've told the prompt that 'yes' I wanted to empty it and gone through the song and dance of skipping the files it can't find, etc. I've gone to an elevated prompt and typed: RD/S pathname (RD/s F:\$RECYCLE.BIN). I've also typed RD/S /Q F:\$Recycle.bin from an elevated prompt.
All of these methods eventually allow me to delete the bin. But it always returns the next night. Any suggestions?

THANKS!!! :)
