I keep getting a notification that the 'Recycle Bin on C:\ is corrupted.'

[jnottingham]

And then it urges me to empty it... I am wary of anything that pops up like that.  And it's happened about three times.  Same notice.

Hello @jnottingham

Please empty the Recycle Bin

Then run a new Disk Check

From an elevated admin command prompt type in the following, or copy/paste into the command prompt window

 

 ECHO Y|CHKDSK C: /F

 

Then restart the computer and do not touch any keys. Let the disk check run and it should correct the issue.

How do I get it from the C:\WINDOWS\System32> to the regular C: drive.  You know how it always opens to the system32?  Or does it matter.

[jnottingham]

C:\WINDOWS\system32> ECHO Y|CHKDSK C: /F
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)
This volume will be checked the next time the system restarts.
 

 

This is what it says. How do I respond Yes.  I put a Y and it said wrong command...

You don't need to do anything more. Just restart the computer and it will run

Don't touch any keys while it's restarting
