Hidden Recycle Bin

[GeofBu]

BullGuard vulnerability scans regularly show as 'highly critical' vulnerabilities old copies of programmes (e.g Adobe Reader, Apple iTunes, etc) located at e.g. C:\$Recylce.Bin\Temp1623\$RXK7T5E\C\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe. They don't show in the Recycle Bin. Any idea how I can delete these?

It appears you are showing a run-on path with 2 separate locations;
C:\$Recycle.bin...
C:\Program Files...
Is that correct?

Hello GeofBu, and welcome to Eight Forums.

You may have an issue or corrupted Recycle Bin. You might see if using METHOD ONE in the tutorial below for the same "C:\$Recycle.bin" may be able to help. Afterwards, scan again to see if still reports this.
