Dear Newsgroup(s),

This takes a little explanation so I will cut straight to the chase.

I have Windows ME installed.  I have two physical hard-drives (C:\ and E:\ =
4Gb, D:\ = 3Gb).  C:\ is obviously my Windows partition of 3Gb.  This drive
was only half used up with Windows and other program files (1.5Gb) therefore
leaving me with a further 1.5Gb to play with.  My other drive (D:\) is used
for games.

I have recently acquired a CD Burner.  In order for me to successfully copy
a CD I had to copy the contents from the CD to my C:\ into a folder.  Upon
completion of the copy I then deleted the contents of the CD from my C:\
completely bypassing the Recycle Bin.  This you would think would bring my
free space on my C:\ back down to 1.5Gb.  Unfortunately this is not the
case.  I now have a small space left on my drive.

This has happened on a few occasions and I am stumped as to the reason why
it does this.  I consider myself to be quite computer literate (it's my
job!).  I have done the normal stuff like virus check, scan-disk, defrag,
deleted all *.tmp files, emptied the Recycle Bin etc etc etc.  What is the
problem???  Is it an ME problem??  Could somebody please help me.  If you
can't understand what I am trying to ask here, then please mail me and I can
possibly give you a further explanation.

Thank you in anticipation.

Justin Medcraft.
