This happens because the file is in fact transferred to the Recycle Bin, still there, using space.

Windows do this because you may change your mind later and retrieve the file back.

If you are pretty sure you don’t want the file anymore and want to free space in the harddisk, you need to clean up the Recycle Bin.

There is an option at the Recycle Bin tag, to avoid deleted files to go to Recycle Bin and be erased immediately.

When deleting huge files to free space, temporarily activate this option, but be careful with what you delete…
:)

Ok, I know you are not using Windows… hehe, but the info worth for the ones running William Gates’s never-ending-fix platform.

Cheers

I have 120GB HD so I divided into 4 partitions:
- 10GB NTFS for WinXP (I don’t use much application).
- 20GB ext3 for Ubuntu
- 1 GB for swapfile
- 89GB NTFS for data (so, I can use both, for XP and Ubuntu).

If you use dual boot, the best make partition using XP. Because, anytime you have trouble with your system, you only need to focus on certain partition.

Now, I don’t have dual boot in my laptop anymore.
So, I just use ext3 format (linux) format. Any application that need Win*, I run on XP in Virtual Box.

My external hard disk use NTSF format. If you use Ubuntu Feisty up, it’s recognized already.

Did you format the initial partition?, if so, please tell me how?.
