    Hey dudes,
    Can anyone tell me why oh why my D drive says its full when ive already freed up space by using disk cleanup? I did have ISO file on it and this took up alot of space but i thought it would go when i did a disk clean up on it.
    Regards

    does disk cleanup delete the files, or send them to the recycle bin?

    Perchance that you have Norton System Works on your system, you will will also need to delete them from Norton Protected files.

    Would also suggest running a Defrag.

    Hi again,
    yip i do have norton anti virus software do you know by any chance what i should be pressing to delete files stored here?
    Defragmented my system short while ago so me thinks that perhaps the norton thing is the answer.

    In your recycle bin there should be a - Delete Norton Protected Files option - click on this and deleted all protected files.
