Here is the problem.
I have 2 SSD drives, one with windows 11 24H2 OS and the other with windows 11 23H2 OS installed.
From the BIO I configured one of the SSD drives as a bootup. Everything bootup and working fine but I kept getting Recycle Bin error on windows desktop. Error like “….cannot empty recycle bin….” Sound like the recycle bins from both hard drive are fighting each other.

Did you Run the Command As Admin?
Did you Restart the Computer afterward?

I did. Look like there is a problem with disk D.
And disk D is part of disk G.

Drive D: on Disk #1 should not have a drive letter, it should look like the small partition to the Left of the C: drive.
In Disk Management, Right click the D: drive and choose Change Drive Letter or Paths.
Choose None as the drive letter.
If that is not possible, download a 3rd party partitioning app like Minitool Partition Wizard and Right click the partition and choose Change Letter, Chose None. Be sure to click Apply to keep the changes.

I don't that is the problem, but this should be done anyways.

That worked! Disk Management can’t do it but Minitool Partition Wizard does. Now no more recycle bin error. Thanks!
