Incorrect Free Space on Hard Drive

[Guest]

My system is XP Home edition. I recently deleted a 17 GB video AVI file from
a very full 40 GB hard drive. The file is gone, but the available space on
the drive did not increase.

What can I do to correct this problem.

Thanks

Did you defragment your drive? Whenever you add or delete large files,
your HD may get fragmented, you could check it out.

With files sizes getting so huge nowadays, its really important to clean up trash, unistall programs that arent used and defragment regularly.
