I have a file recorded in the recycle bin which, when I
try to clear the bin, am told " Cannot delete "file name":
Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the
correct path and filename."
How do I go about clearing that file name out of the
recycle bin? Obviously there is a file name in the recycle
bin index record that cannot be located, for one reason or
another. But, I can't figure out how to clear it.
Any ideas?

Open a DOS prompt, type:

CD\
attrib -r -h -s c:\recycled
deltree /y c:\recycled

If it doesn't work boot to DOS with a Startup disk and repeat. The Recycle
Bin will be deleted along with it's contents. The Bin will be recreated.
