scans recycle bin

I have the free edition number 7 and it scans the recycle bin showing items that have been deleted a long time ago. Whats going on?

The problem is that the bin IS empty , it's scanning stuff that is not there.

It must be there, else it won't scan it.

You might want to use a tool like CCleaner though to erase the free space, if you want to be sure for certain that the files are not there...

(are you sure you have no backup software copying the files from the recycle bin?)
