I have a few different partitions on my 120 Gb hard drive, a 10 gig NTFS partition ( windows), a 10 gig linux partition (which has multiple partititions, I believe, I'm a linux n00b), and the 92 remaining is in a storage FAT32 partition.. anyway, I'm cleaning out my drive, and when I delete stuff, it says I have 13.9 Gb available, despite me having deleted probably close to 3 gigs (and having startedd with 13.9 free). I ran error checking, and it came up with nothing.. What should I do next? Thanks.
 
Did you Empty your Recycle Bin?

If you're running Norton Systemworks or Utilities, you'll need to empty the Norton Protected folder.

System Restore may be taking up this space as well.
 
the recycle bin is empty, I am running NAV 2004, and it had a NAV protected folder, but I disabled it. How might I aleviate the resources sys restore is using? restarting didn't work.
 
Click Start, right click on My Computer, select Properties. (or hit the Windows key plus break)

This will bring up your System Properties.

Select the System Restore tab, and then select the drive that you are looking at, click settings. Either disable it, or tell it to use less space on that drive. If you disable it, you will not be able to undo changes on that drive.
 
thanks, It was at 10 gigs, I slid it down to 1%, or like 1 gig or so, we'll see if that solves it..
 
Which partition is it with the problem? If it's the FAT32 one you may want to run a thorough scandisk, FAT32 was notorious for not keeping track of the correct amount of free space.
