Windows is in my Recycle Bin - Help

    I went to empty my recycle bin last night and got the message "Are you sure you want to delete Windows?" I checked my recycle bin folder and nothing appears in the folder. I suspect there is something in the recycle bin because the words: "Empty Recycle Bin" is not Ghosted out (like it is when it is empty). This is really scaring me.

    I ran AVG and it did not detect any virus but maybe it's something AVG can't detect. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do?
    Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Mack
