Windows XP - Recycle Bin question

[kuhio98]

Okay, I'm including screen shots of how mine is set up.
I did check the other identity recycle bin (there are only 2 identities on our computer) and the files I deleted are not there either? Is it possible there is a 3rd identity that I don't know about? Bobcat and I are the only ones that use the computer. We only see 2 identities when we boot.

I increased the maximum size % of the recycle bin to a ridiculous amount just to make sure that the files (shortcuts) that I was trying to delete weren't too big for some reason. That doesn't appear to be the problem. Very confused. I've never had a problem like this before.
