NPROTECT is not a proper OS managed directory of files - It is a list of files that did exist, and indications of where those files were ( partition, and directory structure) It has to be processed by Norton Protect facility Right click and select empty ( there may be a lot of disk usage - for 10GB perhaps 30 minutes before it completes the process Then Right click and empty the normal recycle bin.
You can tell when its finished most processes - the desktop icon reverts to it's normal presentation and right-click modes It's fully finished when your Windows explorer whinedows refresh, and the disk usage light finally stops showing bursts of activity - You shouldn't reboot till all that activity is completed Then consider turning Norton protect off, or restricting it's processing/retention on a drive by drive basis Finally, beware - For each drive, Norton Unerase only holds a maximum of the last 1500 files deleted by means that are not normally retained by the OS wastebin facility and - to the limit you set using the drive percentage ( that's the complete PARTITION, not the available portion of it ) and Norton staff do not understand the differences between a partition, a drive, and the systems storage JimB Not a fan of Symantec products, Norton stuff included since the 'Symantecised' versions ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Gundersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 1:27 PM Subject: Re: Suddenly - well slowly I am losong Hdd space?

C:\RECYCLER\NPROTECT has 18Gb of files. Folder and contents are "read only & hidden" understandable.... However, When I ask the system to unhide - it seems to do so and when I ask it to delete Read only it attepts to do so but takes ages and then - if I still have the window open (it has crashed a few times) and select the first file it tells me it canot find it. I get the same info when I as the system to make NPROTECT and all the files and subfolder visible and accesable. Cannot select any of the files there to delete. Any new ideas. BTW My NSW 2004 refuses to boot? Sir Hugh of Bognor Intelligence is not knowing the answer but knowing where and how to find it!
