Recycle Bin is corrupt?

Every time I try to access my D:\ in any fashion, Windows 7 keeps telling me my Recycle Bin on my D:\ is corrupt and would it like me to fix it. I hit yes, but it still keeps prompting me.

Now the kicker: I don't use Recycle Bin. This is my alternate drive which I use on XP and now Windows 7. I have Recycle Bin setup to immediately delete. There is no Recycle Bin on D:\.

Has anybody else experienced this? I don't see any posts on the forums. A search on "Recycle bin" came up with 4 unrelated posts.

I don't know if this happens on my normal C:\ for XP as it Windows 7 doesn't mount it (but that's a different discussion).

It's probably because you have Recycle Bin set to delete or something. Really I've never heard of anything like this.

A clarification: it actually only happens when ever I do a properties on D:\, delete files or go into the Recycle Bin itself.

I do, however, set to delete immediately for both drives.

Is there any way to change the settings so it doesn't delete immediately? See if it's directly related to that?

Tried it; still errors. I even ran a disk check; still errors.

And the problem happens in Both XP and 7? Or just 7?

Hi guice,

Glad it worked for you
