    SpaceSniffer shows 27GB Recycle Bin files after it has been emptied


    I have just emptied my Recycle Bin on Windows 10 Pro but it still shows 27GB of files in SpaceSniffer. These files are not visible in Explorer.

    Does anyone know why this may be and more importantly how I get rid of this unwanted clutter?

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Kind wishes - Pat

    Use CCleaner to clean it again ..
    reboot ...
    I wouldn't worry if your HHD show correct storage ..
