cleaning recycle bin ineffective on Windows 7

[Andrew Ziem]

Two users indicate BleachBit 1.6 on Windows 7 does not clean C:\ even when BleachBit is launched with administrator privileges (by accept AUC). http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/node/1114#comment-1660

In my test, BleachBit 1.5 on Windows 7 cleans the recycle bin if, and only if, I accept the AUC. If I do not, there is no error.

BleachBit 1.7.4 alpha fixes cleaning folders that were in the recycling bin

Download path
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bleachbit/files/bleachbit/1.7.4alpha/

Testing suggestions:
* Enable "overwrite files to hide contents" in the BleachBit preferences
* Into the recycling bin put a folder that contains files or other subfolders, and then use BleachBit to delete the recycling bin
* After cleanig the recycling bin using BleachBit, open the recycling bin using Windows to verify it is open. If you already had it open, you may need to refresh it to see the files were deleted.
