File delete doesn't make disk space available
I was scanning pictures when I recieved a message that the hard drive was
full. I deleted about 25gb of files and began to scan again. I quickly got another message that the drive was full. I checked Windows Explorer and Properties for the Drive I was using to store the scanned pictures (not the C: drive). The files I deleted were gone but Properties showed that the drive was full. How do I make the space that had been occupied by the deleted files available? Thanks,

If so, take a look in the Norton Protected Recycle Bin and see if your deleted files are there. Nepatsfan

When I deleted them there was a message that they were too large for the recycle bin and Did I want to delete them permanently. I clicked yes. There is a folder on the drive named RECYCLER. It is empty. I do have SystemWorks. Does it have a separate Recycle Bin? If so, how do I empty it? Thanks again.

I don't use System Works, I've only seen it on other computers. Consult the users guide on the System Works CD for info on the Norton Recycle bin. You can also check on the Symantec Support site. Here are a couple of articles that may be helpful: Disabling the Norton Protected Recycle Bin http://tinyurl.com/7zeg2 Where is my missing disk space? http://www.dslreports.com/faq/9623 Here are a couple of file viewing utilities that will give you a graphical view of what's on your hard drive: JDiskReport http://www.jgoodies.com/ SequoiaView http://www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/ Good luck Nepatsfan
