SYMPTOMS
When you click the "Empty Recycle Bin" link in the Recycle Bin, you may receive the following error message:

Error Deleting File

Cannot Delete INFO2: Access is denied

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

If you then click OK, the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop does not change to indicate that the Recycle Bin is empty.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, restart the computer between the "Restore All" and the "Empty Recycle Bin" action.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
