You have run Active Delete, and you think you can recover space by cleansing the deleted contents. Only way to get more drive space, is to backup and delete some more, or buy another HDD.

Or is security your issue? If so, just google. Some good freeware out there, that does a permanent deletion.

Eraser will overwrite and permanantly delete files.

EDIT: this will not get you any more free space. when a file is deleted the space is marked as free, even though the file is still on the disk. eraser will just make it unrecoverable.

i know but the files are still on the drive , if i scan with active undelete

even after using the "tuneup shredder"?

i have to admit i never tried it but from what ive read, this software should overwrite the files deleted that way. you shouldnt be able to recover them.

!!EXTRA DELETED!! virtual folder is created by active unerase for files and file fragments that it has located, but cannot locate the parent folder, so this is normal. Recycler will always have a folder because windows will recreate it even if you delete it offline.
