Recycle Bin Will Not Completely Clear

When I delete files, they go to the Recycle Bin; When I
select "empty recycle bin", it will clear the files I can
see, but shows an error saying it could not clear 15
files that are hidden, with one of them being a long URL
filename. Is there a registry or subdirectory in DOS I
can access to clear these?

Chris,

The Recycle Bin may be corrupted.
See this MS article:
Cannot Delete Any Files in Windows

You first delete the info2 index file in the Bin from Dos then
delete the C:\Recycled folder. Booting to Windows recreates the
folder.
