"WINDOWS" folder in the bin!!

this might seem like a stupid question

i have this one folder in the recycle bin called "WINDOWS", which strangly can not be seen even as i set my folder option to show all system and hidden files.

but when i try to empty the bin it asks me if i really want to delete "WINDOWS" folder.

never had this nor heard about this.

some please explain.

i had that once.......a simple restart gave it a vanish.......

hmm in my case it did not work, and one more thing i have noticed is that when i left click the option of emptying the bin is disabled.
But after some time it comes back again.
