SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Disk Cleanup tool on the General tab of the properties of a drive to remove files from your hard disk, the amount of free hard disk space reported on the Drive Properties dialog box may not change.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Drive Properties dialog box is not refreshed after the Disk Cleanup tool finishes.



RESOLUTION
To view the amount of free space reclaimed on the hard disk after running the Disk Cleanup tool, close and reopen the Drive Properties dialog box.
