Can't delete items in recycle bin

[Guest]

I've found in Treesize that the recycle bins of one of my drives has 55gb worth of things in there, although it doesn't actually show up in the recycle bin, so I can't delete them

is this taking up space on my harddrive, and is there anyway to delete this?
it comes up with a warning when trying to delete it through Treesize, so I haven't done it

You're likely not looking at the same recycle bin. The one that you see by default is the recycle bin on your C: drive. If you have a secondary disk, D:, there is a recycle bin on there. You can enable hidden files, or you should be able to clear it from treesize.

have you tried running disk cleanup?
