Urgent! Weird Winstep Popup

What the heck?!!! I just got a Winstep popup the likes that I've never seen!

It refers to an external drive. Why would Winstep give such a message? Should I click no or go ahead and empty it?

Here's a screenshot of it.

That's not a Winstep message, that is a *Windows* message. And it means exactly what it says.

If you answer yes, all the contents in the Recycle bin *for that drive* are deleted and the Recycle bin structure is re-created.

Hmmmmm, the message has a Winstep logo. Here's a screenshot of it on the taskbar. If it's a Windows message, why the Winstep logo?

Probably because that dialog was created from within the Winstep process. It is still a dialog generated by Windows itself.

Just google 'the recycle bin is corrupted' and see for yourself.
