deleting video file, can find it in my computer
I downloaded a video file (12.2GB) from my digital video camera, made my
movies and saved them, then I deleted the downloaded file but the memory (12.2GB) is still occupied on my system. After defragmenting my hard drive the report tells me the 12.2GB file "\RECYCLER\NPROTECT\00469377.AVI" is unable to be defragemented so I know the file is somewhere but I can not find the AVI file nor the folders RECYCLER or NPROTECT. This is eating a huge chunk of my hard drive and I need to get rid of it. Can someone please help me? |

Hey,
RECYCLER is a windows internal name for the recycle bin. its a hidden system file, so, obviously, you cant see it. Anyway, If you try emptying your recycle bin, it could release the space. If thats not possible due to some kind of corruption, try chkdsk on your partition. It wil lwork then. If that fails too, you have only knoppix to check. Its a live-boot-linux OS. But its for techies only. If you can find someone to help you, use knoppix to mount your partition in RW mode an then navigate to "c:\recycler" and find that 12.x GB file... You can try deleting it from there...

RC the recycle bin and then click on "empty norton protected files". The operation could take up to 5 minutes. -- Lester Stiefel In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed which describe him in the last days. Is your quality found on this list?? |
