Odd error for free space left on hard drive.

    Basically I deleted a folder about 7GB big earlier from my harddrive and since it was too big for the Recycle Bin it was just permanently deleted. Looking under "Computer" the correct amount of free space was shown, but not long afterwards my computer froze and I had to restart. Now I'm back to having 118MB free on the drive despite the file being gone and no sign of it in the Recycle Bin. I've tried adding files to the drive but they just give an error saying not enough space.
    Anyone any experience of this kind of error?

    I've had similar problems in the past. Try downloading WinDirStat which is a disk space analzer. It should be able to identfy what is taking up the space.

    Seems a torrent I had running decided to allocate space for files I didn't want to download, which is odd itself.
    Thanks for the link. :)
