Error when perofrming SQL Install - 'the volume that contains sql server data directory does not belong to the cluster group'

​When performing SQL Install on a Failover cluster, there might be an error :

'the volume that contains sql server data directory does not belong to the cluster group'. Watch out for another error in the screen preceding this error in the Install wizard, there might be another error:

The mount point disk volume '\\?\Volume{fdba841d-9c06-11df-b213-0017a4770490}\' mounted at 'I:\$RECYCLE.BIN\S-1-5-21-1214440339-854245398-1801674531-11362\$RXP8E68\' is not a clustered resource.To continue, add the resource to the cluster, or remove the mount point to cluster the shared disk.

If you faced both these errors, read the below

​The reason for this error is that the Recycle Bin on the root drive is not empty. There could be leftover folders in the Recycle Bin from any previous deletions or cleanup. To resolve the issue, empty the recycle bin on that root letter, and attempt the install again. If that doesn't work, format the root drive and attempt the install again.
