Disabling the Norton Protected Recycle Bin should delete the items Norton has stored in the Recycler folder:
1 . On the Windows desktop, right-click the Recycle Bin icon, and then click Properties.
2 . On the Global tab, click Use One Setting for All Drives.
3 . On the Recycle Bin tab, click Standard Recycle Bin.
4 . In the Title field, type the following text: Recycle Bin
5 . On the Norton Protection tab, select a drive, and then uncheck Enable Protection.
Repeat this step for each drive.
6. Select Also Empty Protected Files.
7 . Click OK, and then click OK again.
8 . Restart the computer. The "Nprotect" folder should then no longer exist, and you should be able to do your defrag.
