Q: Deleting files from external HD

Ok, this is breaking me.... I have an external hard drive that I have deleted files off of, however it is not clearing up the space (i.e. the disk is still full). I have tried to "erase free space", but it stops as it can not create a temporary file. How do I empty the drive without erasing the whole thing (there's other files on there that I do not want to lose). Drive is in exFAT format.  I have read a few other questions relating to this issue, but they are either related to the hard drive or are way to hard for my little brain to follow. I just want to be able to use my **** disk to save file on. THANKS.
