ScanDisk seems to have used up space......

Hello

Right, I deleted some files that I didn't need the other day and freed up round 250 MB of space. I then did a ScanDisk which then has seemed to have taken up this space again. I've rebooted numerous of times but the space is still used up. Does anyone know why this space has just been used up like this? I used Webroot Window Washer to delete.

Cheers

David.

Did you run a defrag after deleting the files? Try running one from safe mode.

What I did was, used Webroot Window Washer to delete all my Internet temporary files, temp folder, recylce bin etc. After this I ran ScanDisk which after ScanDisk finished I did a Defrag. I'll try running Defrag in Safe mode and see what happens....
