empty recycle bin option unavailable?
when i right click recycle bin, “empty recycle bin” option is not highlighted and i can’t click it. what should i do? please don’t tell me to run a 3rd party software to empty my recycle bin, i want the option there to be click-able again. pls help.
i am able to delete it manually but having the “empty recycle bin” option unavailable is what bothers me. and also when i delete something the recycle bin doesn’t show the icon that it is full, the one that looks like there’s a trash inside it. if you get what i mean 🙂
it’s not empty, im not that stupid
The Expert answers:
If you double click on the recycle bin icon, the bin should open. Then, on the top, there should be an “empty recycle bin” option. It could be doing that if your bin is empty.

Free recycle bins for schools?
My school is in Chorley Lancashire, and we are trying to become more eco-friendly. I was wondering how we could get free recycle bins? Is there anywhere were we can get battery recycle bins?
The Expert answers:
Your local council should provide free recycling bins. If not, why not recycle other things into bins? You could ask on local websites such Freecycle or Freegan if anyone has any old bins or large receptacles that could be used as recycling bins. Or even contact the local paper to put an appeal out.

Windows Vista help with recycling bin.?
Is there a way that I can make a copy of my recycling bin, put the original shortcut in the new copy, and create a massive wormhole of confusion on my desktop?
The Expert answers:
Yes, you have to install the hyperdrive circuit board within the mother board of destiny. Once you have the sword of 1000 tears uploaded, you need to reboot in safemode. Then you can open up the MS DOS menu and make a copy of your recycle bin. Then using the sword of 1000 tears slice the old recycle bin in two, then place both pieces separately into the new copy of the recycle bin.
Vuela!

How Can I Find My Recycle Bin?
I’ve accidentally deleted my recycle bin from my desktop and can anybody tell me how to find it?
The Expert answers:
Step 1: Right-click on your desktop, and go to Personalize
Step 2: Look to the upper-left side of the box. There should be a few options towards the top. The first one will say ‘change desktop icons’. Select that.
Step 3: In the next box that appears, you will see a few different options with check boxes next to them such as My Computer, Control Panel, Recycle Bin, etc. Place a check mark in the box next to Recycle Bin. Now choose the OK button at the bottom (make sure to actually press OK, and not “cancel”).
Step 4: Take a look at your desktop and your recycle bin should be there.
Ken asks…
Recycle Bin – Computer?
The question may look funny or illogical, but i was wondering where does all the trash goes after we click on EMPTY RECYCLE BIN. I mean if we consider physically then when we have loads of trash we drop them at the garbage and later it gets recycled. But in computers how does this works.
The Expert answers:
When you delete a file from a computer it gets put into a hidden directory. That is all the Recycle Bin is a hidden directory on your hard drive.
If the file is too big to go into the recycle bin, you pressed the shift key while deleting it or you empty the recycle bin then the file doesn’t go anywhere. What happens is the space on the hard drive is marked as free for reuse and will be later overwritten by new files.
This is how recovery software like Recuva – http://www.piriform.com/recuva – works. So long as the file has not already been overwritten in can undelete the file.
