I had a similar experience with a 98SE machine a year or two ago. I found 
that some virus or worm  etc software adds hidden folders to the Recycle folder. 
And can only be seen when you 'explore' the folder in DOS mode or right click 
and check propertie to see if there are extra folders. I had to delete them in 
good ole DOS mode, dont know how XP handles that but its a way of deleting 
them.
