Thanks Malnutrition and PeterOz. First I am not using any account password to my personnal PC, if that what you mean if not please show me how to do it if you think required. Secondary regarding PeterOz suggestion I create a new user account and try it. Create some text files and then delete it the recycle bin remain empty and the ‘empty recycle bin’ menu grey out, you have to click ‘open’ then delete the files there. I still hope to hear from you all for further help.

What happens when you put stuff in recycle bin then right click on the new account

[kotapemai]

Thanks Malnutrition and PeterOz now I am having a big problem after running account profile fixer. Firefox browser could not load and the paint could not save the image it say something could not find user profile something like that. The desktop turn to black background instead and the recycle bin could not automatic refresh the empty recycle bin menu being grey out although files are there if you open it. Can it be reverse back to the earlier profile. Regarding the new account which I have created I tried delete some files, but the icon remain empty it should be full. I am waiting for further help. I have attach the APFLog for your reference.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am really surprised today of what happened . The recycle bin icon have come back alive yes it now can auto refresh if I delete some files it will show full and when empty it show empty icon. One sad thing is that I lost all the created restore point and all windows updates with my internet provider 100 Mbps it will take a long time to update all. Regarding the Account Profile Fixer can I delete the account in the user account page in windows if so please show me how to delete it as it start every reboot. Today it give another APLog. Will be appreciate if you can help further.

After deleting ‘Account Profile Fixer’ folder or updating windows updates the recyle bin now return back no auto refreshing. I am not sure whether one of this cause it to change. Do I need the Account Profile Fixer folder which it created and is it normal for it to run every reboot.

It has to be the updates
