Hello Charyl,
Please be informed that the $Recycle.Bin folder and the System Volume Information folder are the legitimate folders.
The actual location of the Recycle Bin depends on the type of operating system and file system. On older FAT file systems (typically Windows 98 and prior), it is located in Drive:\RECYCLED. In the NTFS filesystem (Windows 2000, XP, NT) it is Drive:\RECYCLER. On Windows Vista and Windows 7 it is Drive:$Recycle.Bin folder.
The System Volume Information folder is a hidden system folder that the System Restore tool uses to store its information and restore points. There is a System Volume Information folder on every partition on your computer. You might need to gain access to this folder for troubleshooting purposes.
Could you please confirm whether you have scanned your PC with the AVG program and does it detected any threats? If not please be informed that it is not recommended to remove those folders.
Thank you.

thank you for write me,
the problem started when my phone was slow, so I opted to see it on the pc, then on my hard drive and "c" drive appeared rare folders, I could not delete them.
I did full scan with AVG and 6 threats were detected, but they were not the ones I had seen, and these were still not deleted
thank you verry much, for your time! <3
