charles88 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi i have recently been putting my student films onto my laptop so i can burn them onto disk. they were quite big and when i deleted each one the space on my drive has gone back down but not back to the size it was before. it looks like about 6 gig has been added on is this normal?is it that all files leave a part behind if so is there any way to clear them fullythanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I cannot find it right now; I will post again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Have they just disappeared from your recycle bin but not from the folder?To see this, go to C: then make sure you can see hidden files and folders and go in the RECYCLER folder.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Try JDiskReport - that should show you where your missing 6GB are.N.B. you need Java RTE installed in order to run JDiskReport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
