I've used unlocker to remove some files. Now I have issues emptying my bin. I've ran cmd with admin, but am still unable to empty. Rest assured these files are not important.
cmd commands:
My next idea was to remove the recycle bin entirely, and get it back through control panel - but I wouldn't know about how to do this.

They are from a different user ID, that's why you did not have access. You can Take ownership on $Recycle.Bin, and propagate it down, and then delete them if you want.
You can always safely delete the whole $Recycle.Bin, it comes back right away (clean and empty) without any actions from you; Explorer does that. I remove it every other day or so, for years, never any problems.
No idea how, but CCleaner did the job.
