I keep getting the error message the recycle bin on E is corrupt and asks if I would like to delete it. Regardless of what I choose, the error message popsup every 10 or 15 minutes. E: is an external hard drive.

error message

I've also noticed I randomly loose permission to read from the drive, and have to re-run WD Unlocker.

I tried following this solution but get the error "The directory is not empty" rd /s /q E:\$Recycle.bin Also I can't see the recycle bin when I navigate to it in Explorer.

I'm running Windows 10 64bit and the hard drive is a WD Passport. I had upgraded from Windows 8.1 and never had any trouble with it.

UPDATE:

I tried running check disk but wasn't able to:

Chkdsk was executed in scan mode on a volume snapshot.

Checking file system on E: The shadow copy provider had an error. Check the System and Application event logs for more information.

A snapshot error occured while scanning this drive. You can try again, but if this problem persists, run an offline scan and fix.

I tried running HD Tune for SMART test but am unsure if I ran it correctly, here are the results:

I can use the drive fine, it's just this random error message saying the recycling bin is corrupt on it.

This was a scan with the WD propitiatory utility and show's no problems screen shot of WD Drive Utilities
