Deleting folder doesn't increase available disk space???
Hi folks. I have an OWC Mercury Elite external hard drive with a capacity of 500GB. Finder showed there was only 137 GB available, but I wanted to copy a 139 GB folder on to it, so I deleted a folder that contained more than 130 GB. The problem is that Finder *still* shows there's only 137 GB available on the external drive.
I've used Disk Utility to check the permissions and to run disk repair, but Disk Utility tells me everything checks out OK.
Solutions, anyone?
Regards,
