1) Questions and Answers : Windows : CPDN is eating harddisk memory (Message 19698)

Thats\'s one of the reasons why I don\'t use Norton any more... :-/
But as far as I can remember, by right-clicking the Recycle Bin, there should be an option (from Norton) to permanently deleting the files stored by Norton Recycle Bin. Maybe there\'s also an option for that in the Norton GUI.


Yes, right-clicking on the recyclebin gives an option \"Delete Norton Protected files\". I have used it, repeatedly. Somehow a lot of files are overlooked by Norton.

Problem is solved. Apparently a lot of files are discarded by CPDN. All these are caught by Norton Protection Recycle Bin. The recycle bin was emptied, but in a hidden subdirectory, C:\\Recycler\\Nprotect, I found about 9.600 files, using about 36 GB of disk space. Normal deletetion did not work. I threw out as much as possible, using the DOS-box and the del *.* command. About 1.000 files, using 360 MB could not be deleted, but I can live with that.

Thanks for answering so promptly.

I\'m using CPDN on my laptop. It has a 60 MB harddisk. When CPDN is running, the free space is slowly going down. This happens only when CPDN is running, not with other programs. When I got down to about 5 GB of free space I decided to stop running CPDN until a cure is found.
The problem is, I have about 15 GB accounted for. That leaves about 40 GB in use on my hard drive, but I cannot find where it is used for. I tried several diagnosing and clean-up tools, but nothing helped up to now.
Can anyone help me?
Ton.
