In addition to RichieUK's suggestion, you could also give WinDirStat a shot. It does basically the same thing, but its my personal preference. :P

Under Options in windirstat, you'll have to check "show free space"

| Access Denied: I did as you suggested and the files inside $RECYCLE.BIN totaled 6 GIGAbytes. I deleted them and the hard drive space updated fine. Problem solved. Why did that happen?

Since I have moved on to Vista myself. I noticed that every drive has its own recycle bin settings when you check the properties of the main one on the desktop. I had the same problem as you did once before and that was how I fixed it. Now it doesn't do it anymore and emptying the main one, clears them all for me. I would have to guess a glitch or bug in Veesta that was not worked out and rarely appears. Other than that, maybe someone else with more knowledge than I, using Vista, could shed some light on the issue. I'm just glad I could help out and that your problem is sorted out. Thanks for posting back and letting us know.
