Re: Problems after file deletion
After doing the above use treesize to find out which files are gobbling up the space. It'll allow you to delete directly from the interface.

Re: Problems after file deletion
Horace i just tried that and it wont allow me to delete some files as this seemed an interesting topic i thought id give it a try myself.

It says for example [Files] 1085mb and it wont allow me to delete these, i wonder if the other chris has same issue?

Re: Problems after file deletion
Have you tried a reboot? It could be temp files that can only deleted on reboot when windows isn't using them?
