I've had this now and again, probably caused by some sort of Windows crash.
You try to empty the Recyclebin and get a message about "cannot delete info2..."
Problem will not go away until you do the following (I've edited the MS KB article so that I and all those of us who have no PhD in Applied Programming could understand it) - here we go ...
Click Start , point to Shutdown , and then click Restart to MS-DOS .
Type CD\ , and then press ENTER.
Type CD RECYCLED , and then press ENTER.
Type ATTRIB -r -s -h info2.* , and then press ENTER.
Type DEL INFO2 , and then press ENTER.
NOTE: This deletes the damaged INFO2 file and creates a new file automatically.
Windows 95: Restart your computer. (Press the restart button)
----------------------------------
When you see the Starting Windows 95 message, press F8, and then on the Startup menu, select Command Prompt Only .
Windows 98: Restart your computer. (Press the restart button)
----------------------------------
Press and hold down the CTRL key after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST), and then on the Startup menu, select Command Prompt Only .
NOTE : You can start the computer with a Windows Startup disk if available.
At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after each line:
attrib -r -s -h c:\recycled
deltree c:\recycled
NOTE : If the problem occurs on a drive other than C, substitute the appropriate drive letter for drive C in the above commands.
Restart the computer. This re-creates the Recycle Bin.

PS Sorry no recipe today, I am looking
around for some pasta goodies - just
look in again OK?
