CCleaner locks up when it gets to my recycle bin. I updated the program and it still locked up on the RB. I uninstalled the program, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled it. It still locks up at the RB.

If I uncheck the RB...everything else works great.

I'm running VISTA Ultimate on a laptop with AMD Turion 64x2, 2GB RAM, 1.7 Ghz processor.

Thanks for any help you may render.

Do you have a giant file in your RB?

I am having the same issue, however the file that is locking up CCleaner is a little different.
It is: C:\$recycle.bin\S-1-5-21-1001866470-3342618954-3930281631-1000\$RSRCHS9.rar

I have navigated my way to the file location and the folder it is listed in is "empty". Same w/ the actual recycle bin. CCleaner locks at 24%. My system specs: Dell Inspiron1750 running Vista SP1 x64 Pentium Dual-Core T4200 @ 2.0GHz BIOS version A01 07/06/09. Other possible conflicting software: Malwarebytes (Freeware), Avira (Freeware). Current memory stats: Installed Physical RAM: 3.00 GB, Total: 2.96 GB, Available: Physical: 1.42 GB, Total Virtual: 6.13 GB, Available Virtual: 4.17GB, Page File Space: 3.25 GB. As you can see, I've got plenty and normally buzz right along w/ this program, this has only started over the last few days. I have it set up to run on User Login to windows. I've also checked that I have the latest version of all of those apps as well as CCleaner. I have YET to uninstall it and re-download and re-install but I'm thinking I might still do it yet.

Now what?

Some time ago I experienced a similar problem trying to overwrite Recycle Bin contents using Eraser. I solved this by:
Folder options > View: tick 'Show hidden files and folders' and untick 'hide protected operating system files', opened up the $Recycle.Bin folder and deleted the recycle bin(s) inside it. Ignore the warnings because Windows will create a new recycle bin(s).
