Hard Drive space. - Chameleonic - 2011-08-12

I have a Drive E that is 12.3 GB, all I have in it is Maple which takes up 4.89GB yet it says I only have 5.16GB free. I used to have other files in there but I deleted/moved them because I ran out of space when patching Maple the other day.

Why happened to the remaining 2.25 GB I should have free?

Linkified now that I'm on a real computer instead of my phone.

WinDirStat would be a lot more eyecandy if I actually knew what half the file extensions are and what they do.

I assumed you have two different Operating Systems. Dual Booting.

I'm kinda curious why on earth you have a HDD with only 12.3GB, I'm assuming it's a partition or is your computer really that old.
Also the drive with your OS isn't always C drive, it can be changed to any letter drive

Nope I'm not doing that, just using XP.
