I have just bought a new pc with Vista Home Premium x64. Problem is that the recycle bin won't show deleted items. The bin just looks empty. If I click on empty recycle bin it prompts me if I want to delete these 16 (or whatever number) items, so they must be there but will not display. I have tried displaying hidden files and checked in recycle bin properties that files are not deleted rather than placed in the bin to no avail. If I click restore items nothing happens. Can anyone suggest something please? Thanks

Hello Willcocks, and welcome to Vista Forums.
Is it just the Recycle Bin icon that shows empty, or is it also empty when you open the Recycle Bin?
If it's only the icon, then see: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66294-recycle-bin.html
If it's also when you open the Recycle Bin window, then see: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/131294-recycle-bin-corrupted-cannot-delete-file-folder.html
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Willcocks, what programs are you running? A quick internet search suggests that there are some programs, such as "Clean-up" that are supposed to "remove temporary files created while surfing the web, empty the Recycle Bin, delete files from your temporary folders and more." which can cause deleted files not to appear in your recycle bin.
