I'm using XP Pro. If I right on my video drive Explorer tells me that the
drive is 92.2. GB of which 42.2 is used. This implies that 50 GB is made up
of files. If I select all files & click properties it tells me that they
total 20.8 GB Where is my other 30 GB? I have windows set to display
hidden folders. How do I recover this space for
reuse? If Windows can't do this I also have Norton's System's Works 2003 &
Partition Magic 8 available if they are of use. Please advise

Right click trash bin and purge Norton protected files.
