Why Do I Need Administrative Privileges To Empty Recycle Bin?


@JACKSPRATNYC With what folder did you get the UAC prompt when emptying the Recycle Bin?
Hi LesFerch: It Happens randomly. The next time it happens, I'll post screenshot.

HI LesFerch: Here's a screenshot. (This is a file that was in my "Temp" folder). Just popped up while I was emptying the recycle bin.

I'm curious about what's shown under "More details".
Okay. The next time it happens, I'll use "LockHunter" to determine its origins before I send it to the Recycle Bin.
