Corrupt files in recycle bin

Chkdsk is a Microsoft disk utility, which helps to verify the integrity between the system files and hard disks. If you are having a problem in corrupt files, this utility helps to sort out this problem. There are two user options to run this file.  You can either tell the utility to fix all the problems in file system or thoroughly check the bad sectors in the disk drives. If bad sectors are found, it recovers the data in to a good one and removes the bad one from use.

For your problem, you can run this utility in the following way

Restart the machine

Put ‘chkdsk c: /f’ in the command Prompt

You will get a message whether you want ‘chkdsk’ to run when the computer reboots. Enter ‘Yes’

Then it will do the needful. However, this task will take longer time. You should also remember that there is a risk of data loss also by running this utility.
