re: Question about 'Explorer is reporting the wrong amount of free space (FAT32 Free Space Bug)' Monday, October 20, 2003 at 9:17 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Raphael (1 messages posted) I've seen almost all of you are using Norton Utilities... I've tried to open the Norton Protected Recycle Bin, then I let it search for all Norton Protected Files. Then I selected all files, right-clicked and chose 'Delete'. After this, my Free Space was totally correct! I don't know if it is a Norton or a Windows bug, but this seems to be a nice solution.
