Hi PinkJackal and your Recycle Bin is there for you to use and is important, and not Malware

Your Recycle Bin is part of Windows and provides a means of deleting and recovering Files you may have deleted or wish to get rid of.
If your disk is full, you would want to uninstall some unused programs or files, to allow at least 10% of unused disk space, to enable your OS to be defragged if your OS is on a HDD.

Have the Recycle bin Icon on your desktop and clear it out every so often or it will do it itself if it becomes full.

Well yes I know, but the problem is that every time I delete the files that are in the hidden recycle bin, it will fill again until no disk space is available! My actual recycle bin is empty! It happens in C:\ and in D:\

Hi PinkJackal, Sorry for the misuderstanding.

You may have indeed contracted the recyclebin trojan, (Redirects web browsing activity) it is nasty and can hide from Malware detectors.
Strange, if indeed Malwarebytes did not detect it, although if you failed to keep your data base updated, it can sneak through.
Maybe it is a root viral infection and Malwarebytes has a rootkit revealer. Try that. Also try Spybot Search and Destroy.

You can also try by using a restore point, earlier than the infection or failing that a registry fix is required.

I have never encountered it myself, but you can go into safe mode, hide all system files and edit the registry. This should not be done unless you have expertise in registry edit as you may render your OS inoperable, if wrong registry keys are deleted. There is information on the net for the registry edit.

This maybe worth reading if indeed you have the Trojan: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/289569/infected-by-recycler-recyclebin-virusworm/
