I've been backing up my dvds recently, and the process
creates some very large files. Some of the files are
larger than 4gb, and when I try to delete the large
files, Windows will tell me it's too large for the
Recycling Bin, so I choose to delete them anyway, but
then the resulting disk space doesn't get freed up from
the deletion of these files (ie: the reported disk usage
and disk free space remain the same on the disk drive
properties). However, when I look at the size properties
of the folder I just deleted the file from, it will
reflect the fact that the file was just deleted (ie: the
folder size will be reduced by the file that I deleted).
So for whatever reason, Windows is deleting the large
files but not giving me the resulting free space back.
As I said in my subject, I'm using WinXP with NTFS. If
anyone can shed some light on this, that would be great.
