I was trying to free up some space on one of my drives tonight. So i uninstalled a few programs. One of the programs was about 1.3 gigs. After uninstalling it, windows only gave me an extra 400 megs. Where did the other 900megs go?????? This happens to alot of the files i delete off my computer. How do i get the 900megs off the drive? While fiddling with my computer last week i did slightly damage the connector on my hard drive. But it still works. So what could it be? thanks for any replies.
 
add or remove programs doesn't always report accurate amount of space for programs that's installed. you might also need to physically remove the folder manually.
