Couple of our XP users were facing this problem of deleted files not appearing in Recycle Bin
The problem was with "Damaged Recycled Folder"
To fix this issue, the recycled folder under c: drive was deleted,
deleting this folder was an task all the files are hidden and system files, removed the system and hidden attributes of all sub-directories and files, deleted the folder c:\recycled and restarted the system, which recreated the folder, then the problem was fixed.
Points from Microsoft site
"Damaged Recycled Folder
The Recycled folder itself can become damaged. Files are moved to the folder and the Recycle Bin on the desktop appears full, but you cannot view the contents and the Empty The Recycle Bin command is unavailable. Deleting this folder and restarting Windows will re-create this folder and restore functionality: 1.Restart to a command prompt.
2.Type attrib -s -h recycled.
3.Type del recycled.
4.Restart the computers."
