Solved Change of size of data in folder - After issue

[Melissa]

Dear Community,

I had to have remote access assistance regarding my Antivirus software.

I had them delete my back up files and then create a new folder.

I have noticed that my external hard drive has changed with data size. Would this possibly be the reason behind the change in how much data is left to use.

I am due to do a clean disk and install tomorrow as I have been really, really ill.

Thanks to everyone that has been patient.

I put the data on the current F: which has 626 GB Free.

Just a simple question

I am so sorry if I have caused anyone any hassle by posting this issue. I will close it if it is not related to the forum result.

Thank you for all the assistance that you have provided so far

Follow it for the black space in the disc management. It will create a new partition there.

Later if you want to keep only one volume in the disc, you may merge them.

Hello I tried following the computer management section of the link that you gave me. Which was handy and easy to follow.

I can not go to those options.

I understand what you are trying to do - splitting and then I can find out why there is a variance.

I will do. I am not too sure where my data went. Must have been my back up's - took one hour with the rep from Norton to fix my computer.

Software and me do not mix.

Melissa virus I think

Follow the forum posts, ask questions if needed, and read the instructions carefully .... everything will be easy shortly.

Still a bit confused about the lost space - but if I can not follow the instructions or it does not come up with the same options - then I am gathering that my computer or drive can not do it. The screen shots on the forum assist me greatly.
