    the file is too big for the recycle bin"


    hi guys !
    i have a problem with my Local Disk(D), first i have 111mb free space then i copied games so it reduces to 87mb , but when i decided to deleted those games, a message pops-up saying " the file is too big for the recycle bin". so i clicked "yes" then the files was gone and the 87mb free space didn't move even if i already deleted the games. Help guys, what just happened ??

    Does a reboot change anything?

    You can change the properties on the recycle bin to delete the files automatically and not send them to the recycle bin.

    If it was too large for the recycle bin then the delete function simply bypassed the bin and permanently deleted it. Did you empty the Recycle Bin? I suggest you carry out a boot-time defrag, and sometimes the correct free disk space shows up after a reboot.

    If that's the only way to solved my problem , then how to bypass my recycle bin and permanently delete those files. So i can use my free space in my local disk.

    Check you antivirus software files, one guy said his Norton Protection was keeping approx 10 GB of deleted files.

    disk cleanup


    Try windows inbuilt disk clean up
    Controlpanel>Performance information & tools>disk cleanup.

    Note
    IF you have not used this utility before then be advised, have a cuppa tea, as it will restart the comp and cleanup masses of files.

    If I remember correctly my earlier usage of Windows' Recycle Bin and Norton Protected Recycle Bin, I not only had to empty out the Windows Recycle Bin, I also had to empty out the NPRB as well. The adjusted available byte-space normally shows up before a restart, sure will after a restart.
