Free Disk Space Reported Incorrectly with Norton Utilities 95 (138743)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q138743 SYMPTOMS
When you are using Norton Utilities 95 and you have enabled the Protected
Recycle Bin feature of Norton Utilities, the amount of free disk space
reported by Windows Explorer and the DIR and CHKDSK commands may be
incorrect. The amount of reported free disk space may greatly exceed the
amount of actual free disk space.
CAUSE
The Protected Recycle Bin feature protects deleted files by copying them
to a hidden folder and maintaining a log file that contains an entry for
each file in the hidden folder. The problem described in this article can
occur if the Protected Recycle Bin encounters an error while attempting
to protect a file, causing an invalid entry to be added to the log file.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use either of the following methods:
- Disable the Protected Recycle Bin feature and then restart your
computer.
- You may be able to resolve this problem by emptying the Windows 95
Recycle Bin and the Protected Recycle Bin. For information about
emptying the Protected Recycle Bin, or for additional information
about this problem, please contact Symantec.
