Hi Akos,

Try deleting the Recycle Bin folder in the safe mode. The following steps hold good for 11 as well.

Start Windows 11 and Restart Windows twice at boot screen.
It opens diagnostic repair.
On the next screen, Click Advanced options.
Click Startup settings and Press OK.
Press F5 to boot to Safe mode with networking.
