Problems deleteing things

Each time I try to empty the bin or just try to delete
anything I can only get rid of one item at a time so if
there is 22 items in the bin and I select all and delete
it comes up with the massage "Explorer has caused an error
in unknown" I press the OK and the page closes and gose
back to my desktop I then go back to the bin it can be
only one item sometimes 5 or 6 items have been deleted I
will have to keep doing this untill they have all gone and
at times everything just freezes and will stay like it all
day. Can anyone help me please.
