Fixing Corrupt Recycle Bin

Due to some unknown reasons Windows XP
started throwing the error below whenever I tried to empty my recycle bin, I was sure that the recycle bin folder structure got corrupted somehow and after tinkering here and there I was able to fix this annoyance pretty easily as shown ahead.
Corrupt Recycle Bin
To get this fixed all I did is to get rid of the hidden recycler folder using rd /s c:\recycler command in Windows command-prompt - this will delete all contents of the recycle bin fixing the error.
