Did you empty the Recycle Bin? It has to be emptied before you see the freed
space.

Depends on how big the file is. Over 4gb CANNOT be stored in the Recycle
Bin! It is simply deleted!

Hi.
Hold down the SHIFT key when U press/click delete, to delete the file
without sending it to the recycle bin.

Btw, why so many partititions on the drive? Your partititions will fill up
very quickly indeed with these small sizes on your partititions.

Best regards
