A strange bug in Windows XP home edition: I don't remember when it started, so I cannot tell which installed program/fix/update/registry patch caused it, but whenever I delete a file, or move it to another directory/drive, it disappears from the list, the space is not reclaimed. It takes a reboot to free up the space and make the file disappear. Of course I emptied the recycle bin, but it doesn't help. Furthermore, in about 80% of the cases, the file name keeps appearing, and the only way to get rid of it is to use a program like "unblocker" to free the file of all the programs which might "hold" it (in fact, it is always, and only, EXPLORER.EXE), and even then I have to wait for a reboot to free up the space. anyone else expreienced it? found a solution?
