deleting backups

[metal_man77]

Hi, since I got a small seize HD (44.5Gigs partion) I'd Like to know if there's a way to delete the bakups of the movies once they've been burned to a DVD ?

yes, just click on the folder(not double click) press delete and click on yes.

And if you have a Norton Protected Recycle Bin, here's what you need to do to get more free space on your harddrive(s).

And if you hold the shift key down when choosing delete it won't even go to the recycle bin and give you instant space. Just be sure when you press the shift\delete combo what you are going to delete is waht you want to delete, it gives you a prompt but you only get one chance. I don't use the Norton protected recycle bin so I'm not sure how it works with that.

I know how to delete a file but My system tell's me "Impossible to delete temp.tmp; the source file may be in use"... I'm admin on the system and Shrink DVD isn't in action... What shoud I do ???

I suggest after you get all deleted from the c file, the movie that is, then run the clean up space program to free up all unwanted files.. I do this on a regular basis to have more space ...
