Deleting files - free space remains unchanged

[Rob]

I have a machine running Win 2k and Service Pack 4.

This moring I deleted 9Gig's worth of files from C. However, the free space
of the drive remains unchanged at around 20MB.

I have tried all the obvious places e.g recycle bin, running defrag,
rebooting etc but with no joy!

Does anyone have any ideas how I can make Windows realise the files have
been deleted?

Also, I am running Norton System Work. I think this may have something to
do with it.

Any advice appreciated,

Cheers,

Rob

Did you ~empty~ the recycle bin?

Norton Protected Recycle Bin? Try purging the files in the Norton
program. That Norton System Work is no good for Windows 2000.
