my partition is 143gb, it is set to 10 percent. so shouldn't it be 14.3gb???
everything above 3.99gb that I deleted disappear and cannot be recovered

For most noob and average users, they will not notice! this is not something that most people can comprehend!

This has nothing to do with fat system. Using NTFS, why don't you check it out yourself

I never use the recycle bin, I always shift+delete.

If I want to delete something, I want it gone... not still lingering around.

Ignore this asswipe :thumbsdown:

Take the lesson. Your rudeness contributes nothing to the forums and just stops anyone from wanting to help you with anything in the future.

wtf are you trolling??? you seem to know sh!t what I am talking about and just making post counts
Thanks for that wonderful PM.

I came into this thread with the intention of helping of you. You didn't provide enough information in your OP in order to completely diagnose your problem. Many usefull things were left out, like what version of Windows you were using and what file system you were using.

In response to that I asked a simple question, in case you didn't know FAT32 has a 4gb file limitation, and that sounds very similar to the problem you are having.

What do I get in return?

This has nothing to do with fat system.

As soon as I read that, I knew immediately that you are obviously better then me and know much much more then I could ever know. Although why would you care to learn something about software that belgons to Microsoft when you yourself said...

If you feel that strongly against Microsoft, then don't use their software.

Anyways, back to you being better then me. Since everyone here already knows that you are better then me, the only way to change that is to troll in your thread to make my e-penis larger then yours.

Come back when you are more mature, and can treat people with respect, especially ones that are trying to help you.

Good day :)



PS: Thanks for this wonderful PM as well
FUCKING TROLL

It's probably just a leftover from a previous limitation. Personally I'd rather not have the Recycle Bin, when I delete something I want it gone, not kicking around.

Exactly how I feel, and according to the OP, that is being a troll!

You troll!! OMG ;)

Amazing how much you sound like RobCur. Wouldn't happen to have 2 accounts, would you?

Or 3, considering you have user yonjun's heatware in your profile...hmm?

Maybe wchou is just a cocky moron that really doesn't know as much as you. If he knew more, than obviously he would not have made that post, as you pointed out that fat32 is limited to 4gb. I don't understand why people come on boards asking for help, and then start being complete jerks to the people who are trying to help them.

Well, I can't say I'll participate in the ongoing conversation, but I believe the 4 Gb limitation is due to Windows 32-bit OS. Not for certain and could stand correction but 32-bit allowas for 4Gb of addressable space.
