Symptoms

After my numerous attempts, can not progress with the dbua to upgrade the database, the view on which dbua utility checks recyclebin is not empty.

tried many times to purge recyclebin and also purge dba_recyclebin by refering Note 1484583.1

The dbua does not even show "Ignore" option for "Recycle bin not empty" showing only 2 options "Fix - Now" and "Revalidate", both those 2 options are not clearing the recyclebin (verified in Error.JPG file attached)
