I have like over 10,000 things in there so unlocking them one by one isn't an option. I can't delete anything.
I need major help, and I've asked this before, I got no helpful replies, at all.

It's not a recycle bin, it's a TRASH. I'm on a macbook.

You should unlock them before trashing them, then you wouldn't have 10,000 locked files in the Trash that don't want to be deleted.

If you are talking about deleting files from the recycle bin and you get a error that says something like fill in use. Reboot you pc press the F8 key on your keyboard before windows starts, then choose start windows in safe mode. Once windows is loaded right click on the recycle bin and choose "empty recycle bin". Then you can reboot your pc.

A little more explanation here. How in the world can you have over 10,000 things in your recycle bin? Did you increase the default percentage of your hard drive that the recycle bin holds? (10%) ?

Wow.... Why cant you highlight all the files and then run your unlock program, do you have the program that made the files, I think you don't have do you???? if not then the best and fasted way is to save your files to DVD and format your hard disk, I am sure it will take less time to reinstall windows than to delete 10,000 files one at a time....

I think your best option is to use the free utility at:

It will clean out the recycle bin, and will fix many Windows issues as well.
