Hello guyz,
I have 80GB Seagate Barracuda HDD and it has 5 partitions which are all NTFS formatted. I donno what happened, I stored some movies in the 5th partition which has 4.5GB max. space.

Even after deleting these big size movies the Free Space showed in My Computer remains same.. It is around 486MB which was there before deletion. The same thing is happening to 3rd partition too. Free space isnt creating.

So I ran Check Disk and even Defragmented the drive using O&O Defragmenter. But everything went in vain. Please tell me a solution for this...What is wrong here..??
