SatPrem;
you don't perchance have Norton utilities also installed?
right click on your recycle bin and see if it says "norton unerase" or
'empty norton protected files"
If it does you can ether uninstall the norton utilities, or right click the
recycle bin and select properties
and reconfigure how the norton protection is set up.
Or you could just purge the files from the norton recycle bin.

Subject: [PCBUILD] ghost on my hdd?


Hi all,
 I am encountering a very strange problem. I have WinXP pro
installed on a 667MHz PIII with 128 MB RAM and 10GB hdd.
Recently, the OS has been showing the free disk space wrong.
Let's say I have 100MB free on a disk and I delete a 200MB file,
the free space is still 100MB (this doesn't happen all the time
though. I have tried restarting the system but to no use. Also,
sometimes, when I delete a file, the amount of free space
increases by an amount greater than the file size. For example,
if I delete 20 MB, the free disk space increases by 100MB.
