Hi, this is my first post....let's see how good this forum is.
I did some backing up yesterday in means to free up some space on my hard drive. Most of these files were large directories and ISO's some as big as 5 gigs. I then noticed that this was not affecting the remaining disk space, as if I never removed them. So I did the following...
-empty the recycling bin
-reboot
-defrag all drives
-Norton disk doctor
The drive in question is not the operating system, it just a data and gaming drive. In the program files dir I read that there is 19.1 gigs of data and the other dirs consists of a 1 gig, but I only have 800 megs remaining out of 30 gigs total....so where's the other 10 gigs?
XP
Please help!!!
