    I see. When you deleted the folders the first time was there a window that said the folder was too big for the Recycle bin?

    I'd run chkdsk /f /r from an elevated command prompt.

    It may find some file system or indexing problems and fix them.

    I can't recall a problem like this.

    No, there was no warning that the folders were too big for the recycling bin.

    I'm on XP at this time but Win7 has a similar Recycle Bin property. Right click the bin, bring up properties and make sure the box in the snip is not checked. If it is, the files are gone.
