    C:\Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-719802013-2892436947-219780848-1000\$R6G5EE2.iso

    That one, in particular. Anyone know what it is? It's (CCleaner) reportedly attempting to empty the recycle bin, but will hang on this file indefinitely. Attached is a screenshot. If I uncheck the recycle bin, it runs perfectly. There is nothing shown in my recycle bin if I open the folder in Windows. This file also hangs defraggler...is it a bug in Piriform's coding??? I searched their forums, and found no other mention of this behavior...

    Running Vista 64 bit...

    Google told me nothing...

    I would say just a bad/corrupted file that would hang certain 3rd party cleaning software, not necessarily cCleaner.

    Why dont you just manually clear out the current Recycler Bin, and then monitor and see if the behaviour occurs again?

    cheers ...

    And unable to be located in my file system. Have searched the entire HD to no avail. Letting CCleaner just run for however long to see if it knocks it out after some hours... :confused:

    Cheers...seems to have fixt itself somehow...I hate comps sometimes...when they have lives of their own...lol...

    Don't remember downloading anything that was 11 gb...hmmmmmm....virus scan time...could it have been a shadow copy???

    Run a check disk on your drive and see if that helps.
