where has the memory gone ?

Hi Y'all,

I'm a tad confused.

I've given my son's laptop a good tidy up (inc all scans etc) and am a little stumped because I used Ccleaner to get rid of all the junk but I seem to have less free space available now that I've done.

Before my tidy up there was 27Gb of free space now there is only 20 Gb free ??

What could I have done wrong ?

All of the rubbish files were originally deleted to the recycle bin then securely deleted via Ccleaner and I know that there was at least 1 Gb worth of photos etc deleted.

Why has the free memory reduced and why by so much ?

Hopefully someone will know the answer & will enlighten me

Ta, Jac.

Try Treesize free http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml it shows you the size of each file.

No, I don't dislike him that much !! I only deleted the photos etc that he's already got stored elsewhere. Most of them were nights out with wine women & song (well ... beer tramps & shouting) so consequently most were pictures of blurred thumbs.
