The recycle bin on C:/ is corrupted. Do you want to empty .......... Solved

Question

This message often appears and blocks my PC. I tried the solution that was given to other victims of this problem. That is: After checking "show hidden files of the operating system" go to the C drive and delete the file "$Recycle.Bin" Problem: Although I attempt this action with the administrator account, I am denied access to this file and a message appears "You need administrative rights to delete this folder" Can you tell me what this is about?

Hello,  If even with administrator rights you can't delete files, you'll need to use a shredder. Personally, I use portable Unlocker (https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/utilitaires/22737-unlocker/ Remember to restart your PC after the operation, the files may still be displayed on the screen^^

Nothing to do! Even with unlocker, accessing the file is impossible, and the recycle bin continues to lock all commands on the PC every time it goes to sleep.  I also tried opening the command prompt as an administrator in Windows and manually trying: RmDir /S "C:\$Recycle.Bin" RmDir /S "C:\RECYCLER"  Same result I really don't see how to get out of this.

Unlocker is useful; there are hundreds of millions of people using it.

DD access denied, there was nothing to do about the authorization issue. Then I went to Control Panel, Accounts and Protection, User Accounts, Change User Account Control settings, and I moved the slider down to Never notify me. Then I restarted the computer, plugged in my hard drive, and it worked. I copied the hard drive to the computer and put the slider back to where it was...
