Deleting .bkf files but still in hard drive??

[nitesofsuburbia]

Hello Guys,

I was backing up my system using the backup wizard on xp pro and saved
my files in my second harddrive. When I tried to empty my .bkf file to
the recycling bin it deleted the icon from my second hard drive but
when i went to look at the remaining space in the hard drive it was
still the same. The 42gb file was still there but i dont know where
since the icon was deleted when i tried to empty it out the first
time. My question is how do i completely get rid of the file?? 2nd
question is if its still in my harddrive since the 42 gb of space
nevered cleared, where are the files being stored at??? Please help.

thanks.
J.

The space is marked as useable. Creating a new .bkf will overwrite the old one.
