can't delete recycle bin files and others

Mar 28th, 2007

Greetings to the Group - I've been trying to delete the files in the Receycle Bin but it won't delete them. The error message says "can't delete folder is not empty". I also have some files located in the external hard drive that also won't delete for the same reason. How can I get around this and force the system to delete these files?
