Post From: Deleting .scid files did not free space on windows.

Hello SC team,

I am experiencing a pretty troublesome problem. I know this could or could not have to do anything with your software(it did however not happen with other files in other maps). But I was hoping that you or anyone else cuold help me with this.

I had deleted more then 20 GB's of .scid data this morning, I emptied the trash can also. But it did not clear any space on the disk. I had 17 gigs of free space on the disk. I deleted more then 20gigs, and after this I still had 17 gigs.

As a test because I could not believe it really I deleted some random video files from another folder in windows, this did free the correct space up. After this I deleted another GB of .scid, and the same thing happend.

I am trying to understand the problem at this point, seeing if theres a fix to this problem.
As it stands I only know that deleting large files twice that were .scids in my SC folder had troubles, whilst a test on the same disk with another file did not.

Help with be trully appreciated


Update:
-I did an error check for the disk and it found no troubles.
-Also went to the hidden $RECYCLE.BIN on the disk which was empty
-chkdsk did not help either
-refragmentation did not help.
