Is this just me but deleting files in Vista does not free up space in the hard disk?

I have a 40GB hard disk with 1GB space left. I burned a folder of 4GB worth of data into DVD, and deleted the folder. The UAC appears, I put the password and Explorer went on to delete the folder. But the HD space is still 1GB.

Has anyone tried the BitLocker and EFS enhancements? How does it really work? I heard you must have TPM 1.2 for it to work. Does ASUS P4P800 have it? Thanks.

Try Right Click your drive @ My Computer, Properties, General Tab, Disk Cleanup, Files rom all users on this computer, More Option Tab, & Cleanup System Restore and Shadow Copies.

You should get a few gigs out of the cleanup.

Cheers and please update once it is done ya.

theres no way vista cant detect a camera, it just treat it as an USB mass storage device. Worse still, use a card reader

Yes, this somehow did the trick, but it is not consistent. Sometime it works, some other time it doesn't.

Try freeware Ccleaner. Very effective to do clean up.

shift-delete it. if u delete files using normal delete to recycle bin + emptying it, windows still have the files on ur HDD for restore.

don't trust me?

try this. go to folder option, enable show hidden files and show system files. go to drive where u install OS, there will be a folder called recycler. inside is where all your files or porns are

...
work on any partition you have
