| | I have an external hard drive and I recently deleted a program that was 6 gigs off of it; however, it is still displaying the space available before the deletion. How can I get it to update? I tried unplugging and re-plugging, deleting other stuff--all to no avail. Thanks! |

| Hi MoneyAddyct
I had the same issue with a program that I have installed. I was log files for that program. I cleared the logs using the option in the program and the were gone.

| If you have the MS Windows XP installation disk.
With the MS Windows XP installation in the cd-rom drive,boot to the Recovery Console.
Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive if necessary.
[Boot into the Bios and set your CD-Rom drive as first boot device].
For more information about how to do this,refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer.
At the prompt type chkdsk X: /r then press Enter.
Leave a space in between chkdsk and X: and /r
Replace the X with the actual letter of your external drive.
This process could take up to an hour or more,allow it to run until its finished.
Download/install and run TreeSize Professional:

This will give you all the info regarding the space used on your external drive.
Go to the external drives manufacturers website,there may possibly be a diagnostics utility you can download and run.

| | I'm sorry, perhaps I didn't post in the right area and I'm certainly aware I didn't specify - but I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, not XP. |

| | Hey, thanks for your response. Unfortunately, since my issue is with an external hard drive, there is no system restore points kept on it. |
