Recycling bin access denied on windows 10

They are from a different user ID, that's why you did not have access. You can Take ownership on $Recycle.Bin, and propagate it down, and then delete them if you want.
You can always safely delete the whole $Recycle.Bin, it comes back right away (clean and empty) without any actions from you; Explorer does that. I remove it every other day or so, for years, never any problems.

I've used unlocker to remove some files. Now I have issues emptying my bin. I've ran cmd with admin, but am still unable to empty. Rest assured these files are not important.
cmd commands:
My next idea was to remove the recycle bin entirely, and get it back through control panel - but I wouldn't know about how to do this.

Jonno over 8 yearsIn the same command prompt, can you post the output from
cacls *anddir /q? The likely hood is your user doesn't own or have permission to delete these items.

AC Koop over 6 yearsHow? I can't view my recycle bin to get ownership or delete it - I can only see it in the command line.
