[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1209835, member: 24160"] The erase free disk space function does not provide the function of giving you additional free space. It only overwrites existing free space to make it harder/impossible to recover previous data that was stored in that space. If you do not have additional free space after deleting a 5GB folder, then the folder has not been deleted and/or emptied from the trash. I would suggest looking for that folder on your drive again.
