[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 97286, member: 176912"] LOL, the Norton protected recycle bin is there to protect you from accidentally deleting files. It's got to store them somewhere! If you'd rather have the space, then you've done the right thing. I must admit, it's turned on on my machines but I've never had to use it. I make proper Norton Ghost backups instead. If you're the careful type, then turn of Windows System Restore. It's sh!t, takes up more space than you can shake a stick at, and frequently doesn't work anyway! The only thing it backs up well are viruses and trojans :rolleyes: . Turn it off, backup to DVD-r, swap them with your mates in case your house burns down, and record a few more movies... :D [/QUOTE]
