Hello,

On a Windows 2003 server, there was only 147 MB available on a particular
HD. I copied a folder containing 11.2 GB to an auxilliary HD connected to
the server, then deleted the files in the original folder. I thought it
would free up space on the drive, but there is still only 147 MB available.
Can anyone tell me why?

Thank you and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

It was empty. The disc drive ran out of space yesterday, so I freed up
another 5 GB. Today there is 30 GB available on the drive.

OK, so however it happened the first delete did not free up space, but the
second one did?

Anthony,

This is what happened. The Network guy had data moving from another server
so that it would get on the tape backup. He adjusted things to prevent the
disc space from getting eaten up.

God Bless,

Mark
