I have an 80 gig hard drive that has 10 free gigs. I've
only used (including XP) about 35 gigs. I found a 35 gig
file that was a backup file I created before installing a
second drive. I deleted the backup file (too large for
recycle bin, so totally deleted) yet under properties of
my C drive, it still shows only 10 gigs free, whereas it
should be 45 free! I rebooted, ran Norton WinDoctor, same
thing. I added up all folders and files (including
hidden) on the drive, and it adds up to 35 gigs. Soooo..
I'm not sure what else to do to recoup the 35 gigs. It is
an NTFS drive, not partitioned, no prior problems,
defragged. I don't want to repartition it and have to
reconstruct the file structure, besides, I only have "10"
gigs free... thanks.. (Norton ghost is turned off and
GoBACK has been deleted)
