Defrag shows file I deleted
Ian Michael 04.07.2007 09:48:00
Hi Quite new to SBS

I was defraging the C Drive, and it spent some time on a (large) file which
I believe I had deleted. The reason I believe I had deleted it was:
I had copied it to another drive, and then deleted it
I had emptied the recyle bin
I had opened properties in disk managment console and Shaddow copy for that
(C) drive showed no drive space used.

Anyone throw any light on this please?

Many thanks in advance

best regards

Ian

Discovered the file - it was in the not defraged list, and it had previously
been zipped: so there was a hidden temp folder with it in. That why it did
not show in search either.

Defrag doesn't indicate what file(s) it's working on so there's no way to
know what is being defragged. It could be anything (the windows swap file,
the registry, etc.).

If you deleted the file and emptied the recycle bin, then don't sweat it.

Thanks Scott - but if you look bottom left defrag shows the file (name) it is
working on - turns out it was a temp file shich had not been cleaned up.
