This is a problem on a XP Home installation.
In the RECYLER bin, is a directory called RVWOTJWT containing about 200
files named with 5 leading zeros and a 3 digit number followed by a
period. (ie 00000848)
I believe Norton Internet Security created a new version of this
directory during an upgrade and the old version ended up being moved to
the RECYLCER bin. I think the period is really a non-printable ascii
character and isn't really a period but I don't know what it is.
While the directory is in the RECYCLER bin and isn't causing problems,
it takes a lot of space and I would like to delete it but cannot.
Any deletes get the message "Cannot read from the source file or disk".
The problem isn't access to the directory so booting to SAFE Mode
doesn't help.
How can I get rid of this garbage?
Thanks.
